A species (rare in the UK) with highly variable wing markings and colouration - a fresh male with dark wing patches basking in the morning sunshine at Lydford Gorge in Devon (UK) (0763)
I bought one plant the other day, its tag says, "Heather/Erica". But, it could be the winter health. There is a way to differ them from their leaves. So, I'll look for some health to see if it's different.

Small heath (Coenonympha pamphilus) butterfly sipping nectar from oregano (Origanum vulgare) flowers.
Strzępotek ruczajnik (Coenonympha pamphilus) spijający nektar z kwiatów lebiodki pospolitej (Origanum vulgare).
An extreme aberrant female from Greenscoombe Wood in Cornwall (UK). Walking up through the woodland, I couldn't believe my luck, this stunning beauty was the first Fritillary we spotted as we emerged on to the open hillside! A remarkably fresh specimen for so late in the season!
Heath Fritillaries are prone to a wide variety of aberrations, many of which are named. However, after consulting the 'British Butterfly Aberrations' website, I was not able to find a suitable match so conclude that this is an unclassified aberration. I would be happy to receive suggestions! (8061)

Took a long drive to the Lake District, a very cloudy, windy day so to get a clean shot of this the Large Heath made me very happy
The small heath (Coenonympha pamphilus) is a butterfly species belonging to the family Nymphalidae, classified within the subfamily Satyrinae (commonly known as "the browns"). It is the smallest butterfly in this subfamily. The small heath is diurnal and flies with a noticeable fluttering flight pattern near the ground. It rests with closed wings when not in flight.It is widespread in colonies throughout the grasslands of Eurasia and north-western Africa, preferring drier habitats than other Coenonympha, such as salt marshes, alpine meadows, wetlands, and grasslands near water (i.e. streams). However, habitat loss caused by human activities has led to a decline in populations in some locations.
The larval host plants are grasses, found in various habitats, while adult butterflies feed on nectar from flowers.The males of this species are territorial, which plays a large role in obtaining a female mate. To establish dominance, they partake in lekking, a mating display in which males aggregate in a competitive display to attract passing females

This mint 1952 Jowett Jupiter was a local product having been built by Jowett Cars Ltd of Bradford, West Yorkshire. Jowett built cars and vans in Bradford from 1901 until 1954. This model was built between 1950 and 1954 with just 900 coming off the production line. Today a good example would set a purchaser back over £40k.
This photo was taken as the car approached the 2017 annual historic vehicle rally at Heath Common in Wakefield.
