Red Admirals are commonly found in damp environments such as marshes, woods, fields, and well-watered gardens. These butterflies cannot stand extreme winter cold and migrate southwards during the winter months to warmer climates. During their migration they can be found in habitats ranging from subtropics to tundras. This picture was taken in Section S of the Rosary Cemetery which at this time of the year is an extensive bramble thicket > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6187637.
