October in Portugal
October in Portugal
I have just returned from a week in the eastern Algarve, where it was very warm but dry with very few wild flowers . Clouded Yellows were the most common butterfly on the wing being seen almost everywhere. All these photos were taken at Castro Marim marshes. Help with ID on the white please ? John

Hi John. Lovely shots!
The white is a western Bath white, Pontia daplidice.

Nice pictures John.
That's the same yellow flower that was pretty much the only nectar source available in SE Spain at the end of September.
