I was really enjoying the walk, I think there was more to see. The Fritillary was a surprise, I thought last years one may have just been a one off :-)Alan Paveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09286527051679271536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27062148993749694.post-72696814743158306122011-07-04T12:48:30.512+01:002011-07-04T12:48:30.512+01:00An excellent post Alan, what a day you had!

Lovely photos throughout but my favourite has to be the one of the S-w Fritillary, beautifully lit and a butterfly I have never seen myself.<br /><br />A possible 13 butterfly species in one visit is quite something!ShySongbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08148381873578585910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27062148993749694.post-46891289321106093252011-07-04T08:57:01.318+01:002011-07-04T08:57:01.318+01:00Hi Greenie, Thanks for the ID, there were lots of ...Hi Greenie, Thanks for the ID, there were lots of things on the wing today. I think there is a good chance it was Essex but as you say they are very tricky :-)<br /><br />Hi Adam, It was good to find both of those, it was a great day to be out.<br /><br />Hi Mike, Thanks, I'm not great on flowers at all, it's a must try harder subject for me! If you pay another visit, I hope you find plenty to keep you interested, another day like yesterday would be good :-)Alan Paveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09286527051679271536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27062148993749694.post-32376122260339492782011-07-03T23:26:10.509+01:002011-07-03T23:26:10.509+01:00Alan,

Your fir...Alan ,<br />Nice mix of species posted today .<br />Your first shot is Salsify/Tragopogon pratensis.<br />Really great shot of the Golden-ringed Dragonfly<br />, and that Broad-bodied chaser is a late one .<br />Essex and Small Skippers notoriously difficult , need to be there really . <br />Your SWFritillary is a male and was probably driven off by another male .Greeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18036202102998375825noreply@blogger.com
