Not been able to visit France this year gave the opportunity to catch up on some UK species absent from my UK folder,
The Large Heath, this species had  eluded my many attempts to see it in France.
The  Heath Fritillary common in France but uncommon in the UK
and also the equally rare High Brown Fritillary.
