Speckled Wood feeding on ripe plum

When I took this photo I didn't realise that this Speckled Wood had landed by one of the few over ripe plums left on the tree. This butterfly is rarely seen nectaring on flowers, they feed instead on honeydew, but they appear to be partial to the sweet juice of plums.

Wow this interests me I've never tried giving any of my butterflies fruit before I release them only a sugar water nectar mix, I know some of the tropical butterflies like fruit or rotting fruit bit I didn't think the UK ones would go for it, although butterflies are dwindling in my area i have a massive buddleia that attracts alot i might see what the fruit attracts this year very interesting
