Flying Camberwell Beauty (Nymphalis antiopa)

The Camberwell Beauty (Nymphalis antiopa) kept me company for a good 40 minutes in a sparse birch grove in the Botanical Gardens in Berlin-Dahlem: The following sequence of events was repeated: It sat on the gravel path or birch trunk for about 5 minutes and basked in the sun. Then it flew up, turned a few laps in rapid flight with strong audible wing beats and finally settled down again to sunbathe.
