Thanks P. I was determined to get decent shots as it was the first time I'd seen this species. I wasn't even sure what it was at the time but knew it wasn't any of my usual brown spotted jobs.

Oops, I forgot to mention that this is a manual blend of two images, one focused on the head and one on the wings.

Great image and nice for a "Southerner" to see something that we don't get down here.

My thoughts exactly Deb! It was one of my goals for the year to see and photograph some new species of butterfly and I was delighted to find these. They turned out to be quite common and I saw them in lots of places, including Durness right up on the far north coast.
