Thanks for the kind comments Neil, appreciated as always.
I did`nt notice the pun, so well spotted,............ i just could`nt resist.
Thanks also Wurzel for you kind words,
i will keep you posted regarding the 2nd brood Wood Whites, a butterfly i am quite passionate about. You mentioned the second brood WW`s being slightly different, they are Wurzel. For a start they are a lot cleaner,a lack of grey on the wing`s undersides, especially the males, as shown in the photo below.

I have seen them whiter than this, and also a very light creamy colour, they also have a lack of hair in the upper leg region compared to the first brood. The black markings on the upperside wing-tips of the females are very faint, or absent, as in the next photo.

This a first brood female, but the upper wings are very typical second brood WW, and the black markings on the male`s upper wings are darker than that of the first brood males.
