>>Hello Tony,
The lovely velvet grey butterfly with the white fringe (Wednesday 1st) is a Ringlet. Good effort to catch any butterfly still for long at the moment, they mostly seem to be in a great hurry.
It has been a good couple of weeks for some less common butterflies, they must like the warm weather. A short trip to the New Forest was rewarded with appearances by Silver Washed Fritillaries, a Clouded Yellow and this lovely, stationary, tiny, Silver Studded Blue. A lucky shot with my phone camera.
Thanks for your lovely pictures, Simon
