A mix of Fritillaries I think the first ones are Silver washed but the green under the wing has made me unsure

Was in Georgia (west side) for a birding hoilday in september found a few butterflies which i am not sure of if any has any ideal would be much appreciated.

Thanks for information, fingers will be crossed for the rest of the week

Know this is an old thread but up in the lakes from next weekend so wondering if the chances of the irton fell butterflies appearing by next week (7-13 june) as i know this colney is reported as coming out earlier

A couple of hot days in cumbria produced Northern brown Argus, DGF including one egg laying(which where the only ones which stopped), quite a few graylings and scotch argus on the wing at arnside knott. At Great gable only a couple of mountain ringlets seen but distance but amazed to see large white...

There today couldn't nail a high brown on id only
the dark green though quite faded now but more likely due to the warmth also saw northern brown argus, grayling and scotch so everything seems to be about

many thanks for the tips

Thinking of going for this next week weather permitting as iam in the area but haven't gone looking for them before if people could suggest good sites and area to catch up the species would be most graceful as i see a few sighting have been reported on the cumbria butterfly website

many thanks

Many thanks for the information think leaves be trying Loch Arkaig on the way home (31st of may) and hoping to get luck

Heading to the loch Ness in the 3rd week of may this year and looking at the map on the main part of this site looks like Spean bridge and Doire Donn are going to be the best bets due to where iam staying but with this current cold weather iam wondering if iam going to be too early for them to be ou...

Not seen by me but a family member had a comma in the garden yesterday

With Regards to the Marsh Fritillary had them at Finglandrigg NNR had them on the 4th of June and i think they been out for least a week by then so i would think they may have passed for this year by the time you go, though could depend on the weather of course.

Cheers for the help
