I had already posted these photos in my Personal Diary, but as they are rather unusual I thought I would post them here as well. There is a mating couple of Heath Fritillaries and another one who wants to join in :
After a few minutes, the intruder flew off
leaving the couple to get on with it .

Re: Three Heath Fritillaries
Lovely shots. The mating female is so bright and pale I wondered about Provençal fritillary but from what can be seen of the male that is definitely heath.
