I'll leave some of these to others but image 5 is a male Meadow Brown and image 6 I think is a male Dark Green Fritillary.

Cheers

I haven't been very helpful with IDs recently - out all day every day, and now my parents are here. But I'll set the ball rolling on some of these, working backwards from Swiss IDs 4.

1 Probably little blue, Cupido minimus
2 Dewy ringlet, Erebia pandrose
3 Marsh fritillary, Euphydryas aurinia, form debilis
4 Small skipper, Thymelicus sylvestris, female
5 Meadow brown, Maniola jurtina, male - though it looks a bit funny, so I hope I'm not missing something
6 Dark green fritillary, Argynnis aglaja, male

(Just edited, because I didn't see the dewy ringlet first time)
