Gorgeous specimens and very nice pics, too. The centre of the first large brown ring on your HBF looks bluish. Is it really, or is it just the contrast with the yellow surroundings?

How did you get the HBF onto your finger? These butterflies normally shoot off when you encroach to within 10m.

Re: Arnside Knott
it was quite cool this morning with thick cloud, they were only flying a few feet before perching up! easy to shoot compared to all the other times i have been in full sun.
this one just crawled on my finger!
the eye spot in full size image is a dirty white colour, not the blueish appearance

Re: Arnside Knott
Excellent! I'm going to be there in a week's time, so that's sounding good. Hoping there may still be HBF around, but Scotch Argus and Northern Brown Argus will do me nicely.
