            A pair of Common Blues. Cor you wait for hours then suddenly 2 come together (they were so preoccupied with one another they completely ignored me).

                    A Swiss Fritillary but which one? could be a High Brown.
                    [​IMG]

                    Another not sure one, not seen a butterfly with a ringed abdomen.
                    [​IMG]

                    Possibly a Mountain Ringlet.

                        Wasn't going to bother what with pouring rain, but the sun came out after I headed off to collect my daughter rom the NT property where's she's volunteering whilst at home from uni, so I turned round and grabbed a camera, loads of stuff appeared in the sunshine, missed most of it, but you have to keep on trying

                        A couple of Blues (not all blues are blue)

                          My two above are, a Silver Washed Fritillary, native here as well, and the brown one is a female Map Butterfly, common in Europe but extremely rare in the UK.
