Hi I like this photo because it shows the upper and under wings in one shot.

Hi this is my favourite photo of a Comma it is also the last Comma I saw in 2011.

I wish you all a happy christmas and a great new year.

I only saw two Painted Ladies this year the first was at Collard hill on the 25/6/11 and the second was at Aston Rowant on the 3/9/11. If you look closely at the first one photographed at Collard Hill there is something on the end of its body.

Here are two photos I got of Lulworth Skippers taken at Durlston country park. Taken on the 29/8/2011.

Here is the first photo of the first Marsh Fritillaries that I had ever seen. Taken close to New Quay in Ceredigion Wales on the 5/6/11.

Here are two photos of Marbled whites I took at Collard Down. Taken on 25/6/11.

Hi I have gone though my butterfly photos and come up with these shots of two or more species. Some of the photos are a bit blurred ( a combination of an old camera and butterflies moving to fast ) if you look hard you should see what I saw.

Hi I got this shot of a Large Skipper on a Common-spotted Orchid at Glapthorn Cow Pastures. Taken on 19/6/11.

Hi this is the best photo of a Large Heath Iv got because it rained most of the time I was there. Taken at Whixall Fen near Whitchurch on 29/6 11.

I got this photo of three butterflies together at Speke Hall near Liverpool on 13/9/11.

I saw three Red Admirals today, two feeding on Ivy and one flying. Seen at St Michaels station Aigburth Liverpool. That's fast becoming an iconic late season location for Red Admirals! I found the Ivy patch on sunday and have gone back to it every time its been sunny. I geuss Iv just been lucky.

Here are two photos of High Brown Fritillarys I took last year at Warton Crag, north Lancashire.

Here are some photos of Holly Blues I took last year in the grounds of the Anglican cathedral in Liverpool.

Today I saw eight Red Admirals feeding and sunning on a big patch of ivy. Thats the most Red Admirals Iv ever seen together in one place. I saw them at St Michaels station Aigburth Liverpool.

How would a butterfly know a burrow was disused though?

....or a human for that matter.

I could tell the Burrow was disused because it had a cobweb over most of the entrance.
The butterfly on the outer hand i guess was just lucky.

Today I went for a walk at the Weaver bend near Frodsham. I was delighted to see a pristine Peacock butterfly sunning its self on a bare patch of a grassy bank. I watched for about 15 minutes before it flew down a disused rabbit burrow.
I also saw a Red Admiral.

They made my day.

I took this photo of a pair of CBs at Newborough Warren Anglesey on the 31 of May.
