I`m not sure if this is a large white or small white, I hope it is a small white, thank you for any help. Sorry it`s not a very good photo.

Thank you for your help. Sorry I did`nt get back sooner been hunting butterflies :wink: And I`m still looking for a small white among others. I`m trying to photograph all the butterflies in my local woods, Brasenose woods/shotover here in Oxford, it is said there are around 28 species of butterfly there up to the moment if I have identified the skippers correctly I have 23 species.

My album on flickr of the brasenose woods/shotover butterflies.

That aberrant peacock is pretty special! I was going to suggest you add it to the species-specific album but I see it is already there so you must have added it earlier.

It is very similar to this:

Only just noticed this.

That's a remarkable aberrant Peacock and well done for getting the image.
