Absolutely brilliant, thanks for your replies.

Further picture

I followed this fast moving Clouded Yellow, (helice?), desperately trying to get a decent picture in a Montpellier park on the 31st of October. There was something unusual about it, but I'm not sure what. Maybe the brightness of the hindwing orange spot or the custard yellow uppersides? Anyway, so f...

Many thanks for your replies. Isn't it fascinating what you can learn from a slightly blurred picture of a largish Small Heath?
Bugboy, I believe we met at Rewell Wood, in May looking for Pearl's and Green HS together with Neil H.
Best wishes for the season, Patrick.

I wonder if anyone can help with the identification of this butterfly? It's a somewhat panicked and not quite focused shot of what I thought at the time was a strangely large Small Heath, hence the reason I wanted a photograph. It was taken on the 3rd June this year at Alt Muick Butterfly Reserve, S...

I don't post on this forum very often, but today (9th July) having visited Kithurst Meadow on the South Downs in somewhat poor conditions I was rather pleased to see around 5 newly emerged Chalkhill Blue and thought I would share a couple of pictures. Regards, Patrick. Chalkhill Blue.JPG Chalkhill B...

Blean Woods
I visited Blean Woods, west of Canterbury yesterday 3rd June and found 21 Heath Fritillary fairly scattered around the area.

A family holiday in NE Corfu gave me the chance to find some unseen, by me, butterflies. The Eastern Orange Tip was spotted by the road to the south of Porta and the Nettle-tree Butterfly immediately to the north of Kalami Beach. Both new species to me and rather pleasing see. I hope others enjoy th...

Many thanks for your identification Guy. This is the first Large Tortoiseshell I have seen, despite having visited a site in West Sussex with no luck. So despite her appearance, really rather exciting.

Hello, I wonder if anyone can identify this rather worn butterfly which crashed at my feet in NE Corfu on 19/4/19. This was at sea level, warm and within a stunning olive grove. The butterfly was quite lively but was unable to fly very far. I thought perhaps a Southern Comma or Large Tortoiseshell. ...

Thanks all.

Hello, I saw this butterfly whilst ascending Talaia d'Alcudia, Mallorca on the 25th October this year. I have been unable to identify it. Anyone have any idea? Thanks, Pat.
