  1. Good pics all of 'em. You must be a very patient photographer.
    Still plenty to get next year and a record of time spent, miles walked, cowpats stood in.... ;o)

    1. Cheers. Patient no, obsessive yes! Yeah, I’ll start earlier next summer - something else to get obsessed about, along with miles, cowpats, nettle stings...

  2. Cracking Brian, amazed you've not managed an orange tip was the predominant species when lockdown started near me.

    1. Saw loads before I started photographing them, I’ll get one next summer - started late in the ‘butterfly season’. Saw 4 other species that eluded the camera.
