Hi
I've put a handful of photos on the site - hopefully you can see them in the Recent Images section.
Can I ask for a quick bit of help on ID to get me started ?
I think that the unk brown is a male ringlet
i think unk white 1 is a small white
i think unk white 2 and 2a are large whites
your thoughts would be gratefully appreciated.
thanks

Hi Andy,
I think that your unk brown could be a male Meadow Brown.
unk white 1 and 2a are Green-veined Whites,
unk white 2 is a large white.
I'm sure that someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
cheers
Denise

Hi Denise
thanks for the input.
i see what you mean about the meadow brown.
2 and 2a are the same one as far as i remember.
damp flowery meadow would suit as a habitat.
much appreciated.

Meadow Brown correct and all three whites are Green-veined as far as I can see.

And interestingly you have a male and female green-veined white. Unk 2 and 2a show a female, with two prominent spots on the forewing. Unk 1 shows a male, with just one.
