Thanks Mervyn - they definitely are!
Quite a few members of UK Butterflies are interesting in plotting Large Tort sightings to see if they're on their way back!
Cheers,

Hi Mervyn,
Very nice. UK Butterflying doesn't get much better than that. I've only ever managed to photograph them sitting on builders rubble, but your second shot makes a very pretty picture. Congratulations!

Thanks for posting, Mervyn! They are tremendous pictures.
I'm sure you've noticed the posting on this year's large tortoiseshells, here:

I was referring to your sighting in my first comment on that post.
I really hope all these sightings are the beginning of something big...
