Whilst not connecting with any new species of bird, I had a little more luck with butterflies. (I would have preferred the birds). Four of the species below were new to me. The only exception being the Clouded Yellow which I have seen in Southern England on a number of occasions. The two Tailed Pasha is a real gem of an insect and I was more than happy to get decent images of it and the other species. I am pretty happy with the Long Tailed Blue ID, but as normal if I have erred please let me know. Rather pleased with the two flight shots of the Yellows. Particularly the Clouded. You normally don't see the upper wing of these two species. The beauty of digital is that I could take dozens of shots to get a shot I was happy with.
