Great to see you too James. Lovely open wing shot on your diary!
Thanks David, certainly good to see the LTBs!

Thank you Trevor and Jack. Today I went back to Beeding. I slept in a little and missed the female which was still there earlier but got there as people were photographing a male. There was also a Red Admiral with a white spot in the band and a Comma.

I went to Beeding today to see the Long-tailed Blue. I was very pleased it was still there.

Thank you Mr Spock, David and Goldie. Useful to have confirmation.

Does the first one count as an ab bialbata? Read the description and it seemed to say in some places normal in females but not in England, photo taken in Scotland and I don't know what sex it is.

On Friday 16th there were 6 Red Admirals at Greenbank Garden in Glasgow.

Well done! Great photos too!

Thank you Goldie.
Yes David different markings so a different butterfly from the morning (previous post) and afternoon. Also one normal one just because I liked it the photo

More charming photos but the photo of Chalk Hill Blue on the rock is awesome! I like the way the lichen matches the orange on the wing.

The soft colours on your first Holly Blue photo are really attractive.

I went back to see if I could find the Aberrant Chalk Hil Blue again. I didn't find the same one but found another one

Thank you Mark, Neil and Wurzel. It is one of my favourite places too. Shame about the mite on the skipper. This morning I went back to Chantry Hill but not early enough! I saw plenty of Chalk Hill Blues >100, 5 Silver-spotted Skippers, 5 Brown Argus, 3 old Dark Green Fritillaries, one Red Admiral, ...

Ooh those blackberries look good!

Some more of from me for the Brownies, SSS and Wood White - all fantastic shots

I love the first skipper and reflection shot. I wonder if he could see himself.

Yesterday I went for a shortish trip to Steyning Rifle Range. I intended to look for Brown Hairstreaks but was unconvnced they would be out yet and spent most of my time distracted by Wall Browns. I didn't see any Brownies but saw about 10 Wall Browns, 2 Commas, 3 Holly Blues and a lot of Gatekeeper...

Amazing Privet Hawk Moth - I have never seen anything like it!

Your last photo is making me rethink my weekend plans

Thank you Maximus. I am relieved to know they don't cause harm as I felt a bit sorry for the last Grayling.

Fantastic closed wing Red Admiral. I have not noticed all the different colours before!
