Badgerbob,
That is a nice shot of ab.taras. What a great find. I'd be happy to see any GS where I leave in East Anglia, let alone an ab.
Regards Kev

Thanks all for those comments. I did forget to mention that the wind was blowing and it was only due to the butterfly not being too flighty that I was able to wait for a calmer moment!!

Love your radiata, Bob, and the Wall Brown shot is superb also. I doubt I'll get to see this latter species until mid-June the way things are going with the weather round my part of the UK!

The Chalkhill Blues have now started to emerge locally with a single fresh individual seen in the normal 2016 horrid weather!!

That last photo in the sequence is a real stunner Bob! If you ended the year on that one it would be a fantastic way to finish. Knowing you you'll probably pull another couple of great photos out of the bag before it's all over.
All the best
James

Definitely worth those

I hope they last the week - I haven't seen one this year yet. The undersides are stunning.

Thanks all for the kind comments. I am so lucky living in an area where these great butterflies are still doing well!! Long may that continue.

Great images of the Wall Browns
A species that I have missed this year and one that is no longer found in my part of the midlands. How things have changed since I was a nipper in the 1970s and they used to be common around here.
Cheers,
Neil.
