Gatekeeper (Pyronia tithonus) at the edge of the Kottenforst

[Male]

Strictly speaking, this male Gatekeeper (Pyronia tithonus) was sitting a few metres outside the city limits of Bonn. Together with other Gatekeepers (Pyronia tithonus), it was perched on a Dogwood (Cornus) bush and only flew a few metres every now and then.
