Carrying on with yesterdays Back in the day theme, this was taken with my Argus C4 which was made in the 1950s. He was a Christmas present from my dear friends Andy and Staci (thank you guys!!! :). He's a rangefinder camera, and really a joy to operate.

It's not been the most productive of years in terms of photography of these small grassland butterflies for various reasons for me. However, I've finally got round to editing a few from earlier this month. This was one of my best finds, three butteflies clinging on to the same piece of grass

I'm a bit late to the party but this is my first brown argus of the year.

Brown Argus (male)

The adults have a silvery appearance as they fly low to the ground and they stop frequently either to perch or feed on flowers. They may be confused with Common Blue females, which also have brown upperwings but usually with some blue at the base. It is also very similar to Northern Brown Argus which usually has no orange spots on forewing.

I was out early yesterday taking photos of roosting butterflies. This is a brown argus and is the start of the second brood so hopefully a lot more to come

Kate brought her argus vintage camera with her for our meet up and we had a fun time trying lots of things with it. Here is her picture of Clyde amongst the leaves.
