Hiya All,
A couple more shots from yesterday, have seen loads of these butterflies around lately but never this little fly, there were a number of them around but they never seemed to stay still, all of these flies seemed to be flashing their wings, I guess either to attract a mate or as some sorta warning????
Cheers for now
Mark

The butterfly is a meadow brown. Haven't a clue about the fly.

Hi Mark- excellent pics again :)
The fly is Sepsis fulgens - try to find a mating pair, the male looks like he's having a rodeo ride :). Think they are sometimes called signal flies.

Hiya Darren,
Thanks for your comments, your right about that shadow, damn it I hadn't noticed guess thats the inexperience showing through or maybe excitement of the moment, mmmm I'll go for the excitement as an excuse me thinks.
Cheers for now

Hiya Ken,Darren,
Thanks for your comments, yeah the shadows not to bad but I do prefer it without, like you say a question of personal taste, it does help having other peoples views cause unless things are pointed out how is a novice to learn & be able to make informed choices.
Cheers for now
