Back from the hol's , I didn't get what I wanted in Hampshire,(which was the Purple Emp ) but I thought Bently Wood was fantastic, I'd not got really good shots before of Silver- W Frit's and to my delight they were every where
I took this shot of a Valezina SWF I didn't have much time, she was hidden in the bush and kept moving mostly round the bottom of a tree then she decided to fly just as I got her in my sight's so I'm afraid the photo's not too good but at least I got some thing so I was pleased.
We had a laugh, when I saw this Butterfly fly down from a tree and I thought it was a PE, it's more like a Meadow Brown

not that I'd know not having seen a PE .

( only in books)
I took lots of shots of Marble Whites, they really are a lovely Butterfly and I couldn't miss them they were in the field directly behind the Cottage where we stayed.
We moved on to Kent second week to my daughter's, of course I made a B line for East Blean Woods and the Heath Frit's. I was amazed when I got there , there were so few of them, I suppose they'd been out for a while and that was why but I'm not sure.
For a day out our daughter took us to Dean Woods and we thought we saw a PE but it could have been a White Admiral in any case it was much to quick for us.
Midweek we went to Dover, my Husband loves to watch the boats going to France and back, I spotted a flash of Blue and followed it, I was so pleased when it turned out to be a Chalkhill Blue because of the nice weather they were early and I thought I'd miss them I was over the moon.
So my holiday turned out to be great and apart from a thunder storm which was quite spectacular ,( I must be strange I love to see the lighting

) There were no problems. Now maybe I'll go up to Arnside Knot and see some HBF if they've not gone, I went up just before I went a way and saw only SPF, I seem to be either too soon or too late
