Hi,

Had an all too short time with these at a location in Kent, a priority species and endangered in Britain... so glad to find this pair making sure that there are more Heath Fritillary's for next year.

Hopefully all things being equal I shall head down there again next weekend and spend more time with them...

All the best

Love the image Phil, find the OOF antenna distracting though. Look forward to the next group
