Two from the Pyrenees
Posted: Thu Jun 20, 2019 4:06 pm
After another visit to our favourite mountains I have a couple with which I need some help.
I thought No 1 might be Queen of Spain Fritillary but it doesn't seem to match the Collins guide - am I barking up the wrong tree?
Sorry about No 2 - it's against the light and there's not a lot of detail showing. It didn't want to spread its wings and it looks, to me, to be quite ragged and in rather poor shape. Is it possible to identify it from this shot?
Thanks for any and all help given, please point out the relevant ID features so I can learn...
