Comma, Seen often in the spring sunbathing after overwintering. I love these little butterflies, in the summer they fly up and down the glades doing a great impression of a silver washed fritillary...I have been fooled more than once!
And when the wings close..........you can hardly see him!
Grizzled skipper, one on my tick list. I don't find these very easy to photograph as the black and white wing edges seem to make the photograph look grainy.
I found this mating pair, and as they were sitting on a stick I was able to pick it up and get some really decent shots
My fave shot! the not often seen underside. and two for the price of one Yipee!!!
Another Mill Hill skipper, the Dingy skipper this time. This one is freshly hatched and not dingy at all!
Speckled wood, common, but really beautiful and so well hidden in dappled sunshine.
Orange tip, my favourite spring butterfly!!! I love these little butterflies they are so charming and beautiful. Most of the time they are flitting around at top speed and not stopping long enough to pick up a camera, let alone fire off a few shots. This year it has been quite cool, so they have been roosting quietly and much more available for a quick phpotoshoot.
This is a female, slightly larger without orange tips.
Asleep on the flower he spent the night on.
Male - with orange tips
Just investigating............
