Hello again,

Just back from a birding trip, which was excellent, to Extremadura, Central Spain. While out I saw quite a few butterflies but would appreciate help in identifying these four. As always, thanks in advance for your expertise and ready help.

Best wishes,

David

Hi David. You have there a black-eyed blue, a small heath, a knapweed fritillary and a Spanish festoon.

Guy

Thanks, Guy, that was quick! I had seen the Festoon in the Crossbill guide to Extremadura and was looking out for it because it looked so beautiful - and when I found one I didn't recognise it!
Thanks again,
David

Hello Dragnil,

Perhaps because they can be a bit more beautiful :

Yes, that's what I was expecting to see!
