Sorted these Dewy Ringlet shots out from the Queyras... not an easy species to get good photos of judging by past experience, 'cos they flop on forever, despite always looking as if they're just going to ground.... this one behaved itself :D

:D :D

also this is a somewhat interesting view of purebred Alpine Heath, showing some upperside whilst still alive!

Fantastic shot of Dewy Ringlet as they're really difficult.

Yes - I remember all those Erebia! So difficult to get a decent shot without grass all over the place.
Nice one.

Thank you for the compliments... we generally did quite badly with erebia again... and when we did get a well behaved one it was usually Almond Eyed.... yet how could that be a disappointment!!
I'm running out of images now, but here are a few more... firstly a second rate study of Geranium Argus...

Image

and a not so fresh False Heath Fritillary....

Image

and a rather attractive Shepherd's ( or Mountain??) Fritillary...
