Mourning cloak butterfly

Rockcliffe Park

A happy sight - two mourning cloaks flying around the woods. It was about +10 and sunny and though there was a cool wind in the woods, obviously warm enough for these two to come out of winter hibernation. I can imagine they were relieved to have it warm enough at last! This one was basking in full sun on a tree trunk.
