Beautiful female DGF photo. I haven't seen any yet this year but your photo has certainly encouraged me to go looking!

Lovely photos, especially the first Heath Fritillary

Excellent photos!

Today I went to Iping Common to see the Silver-studded Blues. I found one male and then bumped into Roy, who I had met also one year ago, in the same place. Together we managed to find one female and a further 6 males. Last year we saw many more and all centred on heather. Today we were surprised th...

Thank you Maximus and Pauline. Pauline if you do go watch out for the anthills, a lot of ants and anthills about!

Beautiful photos especially the third Heath Fritillary one!

Thank you Wurzel - I feel the same way about your Marsh Fritillaries. Enticed by Marc Heath's photo and armed with Dave Brown's instructions both posted on this website (thanks to both) I headed off to see my first Heath Fritillary at East Blean Wood. I collected my sister from Canterbury West Stati...

Beautiful Small Blue photos- the light and colours are very attractive!

Great Glanville photos too! . I particularly like the first one.

In between I saw some Red Admirals and Green-Veined Whites. At Kithurst I...

Fortunately it was just a passing shower and I quickly spotted a man with a camera and tripod (Graham) who had found two Glanvilles. He was photographi...

Thank you Goldie.
Yesterday late afternoon I visited Mill Hill - plenty of Adonis Blues, Common Blues and Dingy Skippers about. Also some Small Heath, Walls, Grizzled Skippers and Brimstones.

Today I went back to Heyshott. Weather a bit grey again. I saw some Dukes but I didn't manage to spot any Pearl-Bordered Fritillaries .

Loving the first small blue photo with the raindrops!

I went to Malling Down today and saw my first Adonis Blue, Common Blue and Wall Brown of the year. Other butterflies seen were Brown Argus, Green Hairstreaks, Brimstones, Dingy Skippers and Red Admirals

Brilliant duke photos Pauline

Thank you for your encouraging comments on the Dingy photos!
Today I went back to Heyshott and saw some more Dukes. On the way back I stopped at Kithurst and saw my first Small Copper and Small Blues of the year.

This afternoon I went to Kithurst Hill in rather grey and windy weather. I found only one dingy skipper.

Superb orange tip on orchid photo!
