Meadow Brown (Maniola jurtina)
The thistles growing alongside the bank of the River Bure are visited by a great number of insects and butterflies such as this Meadow Brown - one of the most widespread and common butterflies of Great Britain. It can be found in a wide range of habitats, from downland and grassland, through to urban brownfield sites and coastal dunes. Unlike many other butterflies, the Meadow Brown can be seen on the wing under overcast skies, although it does prefer warm sunny days. Males are more wide-ranging than the females.
