High Brown Fritillary male and female from Heddon's Mouth. A DGF male dropped by to say hello, she ignored him and he didn't try anything!

As for Small Tortoiseshell, there were certainly plenty around Exmoor.

Great stuff from Dorset David, well done on the LT!

Recent from East Sussex, 2nd brood Dingy Skipper.
Male Wall.
Two males and a female.
She escaped their attentions.
Clouded Yellow.
Looks like a male.

Found a couple of nice female Wall over the weekend in East Sussex.
And here is a male.

30+ Dark Green Fritillary on a walk in and around part of Friston Forest today. Of which 80% were female, including the darkest I've yet seen.

Also lots of Whites on the wing and a ton of fresh Red Admiral, and I saw a new Wall male.

Thanks Pauline.

Lots of good stuff to see in Chiddingfold Forest at the moment, but the Silver-washed Fritillaries are particularly nice.

Isn't it great when you go out and find exactly what you were looking for? In this case female Dark Green Fritillary, that I hoped would be out by now. And on Sunday I found two of these gorgeous butterflies. 1.jpg 2.jpg To die for! 3.jpg 4.jpg The number of males had increased considerably from my ...

Great work with those High Browns David! :mrgreen: I wish I could have been there! :) The cooler weather over the last few days helped make the butterflies I was seeing more approachable. I was particularly happy to capture a Meadow Brown with wings open. Below are Small Tortoiseshell, Red Admiral, ...

Lovely to see my first fresh Small Tortoiseshell of the year this morning at Alfriston in East Sussex.

And then later on a half dozen or so Dark Green Fritillaries in Friston Forest.

Agreed about the weather David!

I was able to obtain these shots last Thursday evening all thanks to Trevors eyes and lungs. He spotted the pair at Park Heath Corner in East Sussex while Gary and myself were chasing our own Small Pearl-bordered Fritillaries at pretty much the opposite side of the reserve. He gave several mighty ca...

Great shots of some beautiful Butterflies Kip. Fantastic stuff.

Beautiful stuff BB, love that Tort, great haul.
(like your bird shots as well!)

Beautiful Dave (looking forward to the Holly Blues!).

Great bird shots Neil, love the female Blackcap.

Great reports Old Wolf. Well done with the Emperors.

Your welcome Wurzel! Thanks m8, hope you do better with the Marbled Whites this year!

Cheers Trevor. They absolutely are!

Thanks Dave. I'm with you, love 'em!

Thanks David. I usually see much subtler wing rolling, but this one was quite 'vigorous'!

Well done Trevor. The Peacocks are lovely.

Well done on your first sighting David. And what a great 2019 roundup! Love your Fritillaries and Brown Hairstreak.

Very nice Mark, especially the Torts.

Cheers Wurzel, here we go. :) Thanks David. Them being so engrossed in feeding definitely helped! Hi Neil, thanks a lot. :) June was also Black Hairstreak time, and Ditchling Common was better for me than last year. 1.jpg 2.jpg 3.jpg This one was giving it's wings a good old rub together. 4.jpg 5.jp...

Hi David, thank you very much. Very kind of you. :) In the latter part of June I paid special attention to the Dark Green Fritillary. They were wonderful to watch, in and around the Lullington Heath/Friston Forest area. 1.jpg 2.jpg 3.jpg 4.jpg They definitely favoured Thistle and Knapweed but would ...
