I'd say image 5 is of Weaver's Fritillary.

Re: Andy Brown
Hi Andy. I'm getting behind on looking through everyone's diaries - but more great pictures here. On the previous page you have a tufted marbled skipper labelled, 'marbled or southern marbled'. And I agree with David that the frit on this page is violet frit (or 'Weaver's' - I don't know why, but I've never liked that name).

Re: Andy Brown
David and Guy,
Thanks again for you time and input, each time i get ready to upload the latest pictures and review them and still spot some errors where i have missed the obvious or less obvious, i think i will take more time in the future to identify.
Cheers
Andy

Re: Andy Brown
Great shot of the Southern White Admiral, Andy. Whenever I've seen them, they've always settled either on the ground or on leaves. To get one on a flower with minimal background interference is quite an achievement!

Re: Andy Brown
Thanks David,
It stood out like a beacon when I saw it the only problem was getting to it without disturbing it and it was about 3 foot of the ground and had to get the tripod legs up etc. so yes very pleased to get such a great pose.
Cheers

Re: Andy Brown
Wow! Quite a return.
Your Spanish Purple Hairstreak is a particularly good 'spot'. Nice to see your leucomelas Marbled White too.

Re: Andy Brown
Evening, Last part of day 5 with I think a few stunning butterflies that I hope the pictures do justice, this was the first time I had seen most of the them but the one that really stood out was the Male Scarce Copper it was just one of those moments when you think how can a Butterfly have such a vivid colour which has the same sheen as the Adonis Blue. However the Chestnut Heath and Apollo are right up there in the league of wonderful European butterflies. Hope you enjoy! and help with the not sure etc will be useful.
Cheers
Andy

Re: Andy Brown
Lovely images, Andy. I'm looking forward to reacquainting myself with some/all of these species in 2015.
