We saw at least 10 different species during a walk in mixed weather.

These are the largest "British Frit" with a wingspan over 75mm and as such they are very spectacular as they fly past looking for plants to nectar on.

The Wyre Forrest is a well known place to see these butterflies and I was very pleased with these.  As always in 2008 it was a very windy day and photography was hard, but as I had not seen this species before I was pleased with these results.
