Hi Tony. I suspect your first white is mannii (southern small white). I agree the second is ergane. The skipper is Spialia orbifer, the orbed red-underwing skipper.

Very many thanks, once again, Guy.

I feel rather a muppet not seeing orbifer - it was the most frequent skipper there. Shame, really - I started butterfly watching aged about six, but missed out on the intervening sixty years, or I might do a bit better :oops: .

Tony.
