I have just returned from a week in the eastern Algarve, where it was very warm but dry with very few wild flowers . Clouded Yellows were the most common butterfly on the wing being seen almost everywhere. All these photos were taken at Castro Marim marshes. Help with ID on the white please ? John

Hi John. Lovely shots!
The white is a western Bath white, Pontia daplidice.

Nice pictures John.
That's the same yellow flower that was pretty much the only nectar source available in SE Spain at the end of September.
Cheers
