A pair of these wonderful butterflies were staring romantically at each other for an hour and I'm sad, so I decided to watch them being all smitten. Harling Heath, Norfolk. June 21st '09.

Thanks for the comments guys, I appreciate them so much



P.S- Jon, I meant that I'm sad for sitting and watching smitten skippers like they're a soppy film
