Hi, Here's a few butterflies from the last couple of weeks.

First 2 are a Common Blue Female, first time I've seen one normally always see the males flitting about.

Meadow Brown, the same butterfly that I posted last week but a shot of the other side I think I prefer the light on this shot.

Hi Pete
Nice series of shots
I recognise your problems with the Painted Lady - but you can only shoot what you see.
I've got a couple that I took in the last few days that are out of focus and that's the pits!

Fabulous set of shots. The blues are all gorgeous shots but love the composition of #3.
