It's always nice to see an image that has something different from the norm and for that reason I think Trev's photo of the Marbled White is stunning.

It was good to meet you Paul. I went back on Saturday morning and was luck enough to see a female and with the help of Wurzel a male.

Thanks Neil. I thought it might have been due to the black tips on the antenna.

Taken in Bentley Wood this morning
Thanks, Craig.

Thanks David.

Hi David,

It was photographed in Bentley Wood today. All the images are very similar.

Thanks, Craig.

Hi

can someone please identify this Skipper. Thanks, Craig.

Thanks.

Hi,

This was taken today at Durlston Country Park. Have I managed to capture the Lulworth Skipper?

Thanks, Craig.

I should have added it was taken this evening at Figsbury Ring, Wiltshire. I did see several more Adonis Blues but I thought this just looked slightly different.

Hi,

I am not very good at identfing Blues...... I'm thinking it may be a Common?

Again both images taken in Bentley Wood. I seem to have spent a lot of time in there this year. Taken with a 5d Mk3 and 300mm lens.

Settings f13, 1/100s and ISO800
Settings f9, 1/160s and ISO800

One of my favourite butterflies of the year see. Both images were taken on Stockbridge Down.

Nigel I really love this image.

All taken on Stockbridge Down, Hampshire. There were large numbers of them this year.

This is the second time I have posted this photo as I had previously mistaken it for a Chalkhill Blue. This was photographed on Stockbridge Down, Hampshire early one very calm morning. This is one of my favourite images of the year. 3P5A2034.jpg Canon 5d MK3 with 100mm f2.8 macro lens mounted on a t...

Thanks Mike I will give it a go tomorrow.

Just woundering how you embed the photo in to the message?

Here are my two favourites.

The first was taken in Bentley Wood and the second was taken on Stockbridge Down.

Hi B'saurus,

I struggle identifying the Blues but looking more closely I would agree.

Regards, Craig.
