Hi,

Have renewed my membership so thought I had better post something... We are fortunate in Kent to have one of the sites for these nationally rare butterflies... the site is kept good by efficient coppicing in order to provide a suitable habitat for their larval food plant, Common Cow Wheat... these are always a huge pleasure to photograph...

All the best

Phil

Sharp wing tip to wing tip which is not easy with two butterlies. Top class shot Phil.
