A visit to Noar Hill Wednesday 20th April on a sunny morning produced this paired couple.
Counted three in all, with an orange tip flying in search of a mate.
Duke of Burgundy mating pair
Re: Duke of Burgundy mating pair
Well done, Barrie. Most of us are struggling to see any butterfly species, let alone two Dukes mating! ![Mr. Green :mrgreen:](./images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)

Re: Duke of Burgundy mating pair
I recognise those butterflies, Barrie. I was one of the (several) other observers with whom they generously shared this intimate moment. A splendid way to kick off your diary!
