Superb photographs on what sounds like a super day in the field. Interested to know your photograohic set-up. I managed small skipper, small white and large skipper on my patch in North Derbyshire, but no photos I'm afraid. They looked just like yours though. Off to set up me moth trap.

Personally speaking, I cannot wait for your website to be up and running. Perhaps then you will have your own forum within which to confine your ramblings. Due to Peter Eeles seemingly endless patience I think you have shamefully parasitised this brilliant site for too long.

Congratulations Mike on your first sighting of Duke of Burgundy and of the top quality hand held photo's to capture the moment.
