Much smaller wings than the Seafire depicted in the image link below.
We were chasing the elusive Bronze Copper but none were sighted. I
would have been very pleased if Moose had bagged a nice shot of one.
We did see and photograph a few Silver-bordered Fritillaries,
confirming a late tail
on the last flight period. It is nearly extinct in central-southern
England and much less common in our area. It is not one of the
"switchers" and requires relatively undisturbed wet meadow environment.
I am fortunate to have had that in my backyard and see them there on
occasion. I'll post the remainder of the gallery after I get the film
back and sort out that bunch. (no cheating ;-) )
Sulphurs were very abundant as usual this time of year when we were
out and couldn't resist a few shots. Curiously very few Monarchs were
around. One their worst years, if not the worst ever. I hope the
population recovers.
