Wonderful!! How exciting to see all these things at this time of year! Your AGB pictures are great - this is a butterfly I have got only the most pitiful piccies of.
The first 'bloody skipper' is alceae/tripolinus (I don't think anyone really knows the distribution of tripolinus because it is impossible to separate from alceae without resorting to violence).
I would say the others are all nostrodamus. Is that what you thought?

Please accept my appologies for not replying, I completely forgot about this thread, I was so busy with work at the time.
I agree 100% with your colclusions, but really wish, a) I could know for sure which one I'm looking at when I spot alceae/tripolinus and, b) after taking so many nostrodamus photos I could find a pumillio in there
