OK final final pic.  Saw this very odd butterfly in flight (apparently upside down) - never seen anything like it before and had no idea what it was till it landed !

Very lucky to have that selection of butterflies. Looks like Queen of Spain Fritillary, Swallowtail, Purple Emperor or White Admiral. Where in the world are they?

Three from today, Small Copper, Red Admiral and Green-veined White.

 

Love the deep colours, was that early morning?

Had thought butterfly season was over, but seemingly not quite. a few from last week. Clouded yellow was a first for me. Rarely seen here.
