Hills and Holes

Spent an enjoyable morning on Sunday 25th July at the local `hotspot` for Marbled Whites, Barnack Hills and Holes NNR. There were at least 5 Marbled Whites, plus numerous Chalk-hill Blues. There were also Common Blues, Meadow Browns, Gatekeepers and Brimstones.

Again, these were taken with my pocket camera. I am quite pleased with the results!

    V nice shots, John. I may be wrong (so forgive me), but isn't the mating pair Chalkhill rather than Common?

    Thanks for that Mike. I will bow to your superior knowledge on the butterfly i.d. I have changed the label accordingly. I am going to have to get a better field book!
