Here's something to brighten yet another damp July morning. A lovely fresh male Silver-studded Blue perched on Bell Heather.
I have to say I'm finding this damp summer a little frustrating, I should be looking for Purple Emperors but instead its drizzling outside.
The Silver Y migrates to the UK in massive numbers each year - sometimes, an estimated 220 million can reach our shores in spring
Male / upperwing.
Species: Plebeius argus.
This attractive little blue is most often associated with heathlands of southern England, where it can occur in very large numbers. However, in many places it is serious decline, mainly as a result of destruction of heaths and the shading out of the sparsely vegetated, sunny habitats it prefers.
Prees Heath Common, Shropshire.
Many thanks to people who view or comment on my photos
The swooping flight of this large and graceful butterfly is one of the most beautiful sights to be found in woodland during high summer. A large fast flying butterfly, separated from other fritillaries by its pointed wings and silver streaks on the undersides which can be viewed as it stops to feed on flowers such as Bramble.
Just a quick upload and another apology for never finding time to post and view your images. I am sorry and I hope you are all well!
One of my favorites from a shoot last week
Canon Rebel XT (converted to Infra-red by LifePixel 830nm Filter) | Tamron SP 45mm F/1.8 Di VC USD Lens
My first ever visit to New Hampshire was full of every color I could imagine. This is near Crawford Notch.
It made me happy to see so many of one of my favourite butterflies this morning.

Shot 65/100 x
Made by my artistic sibling years ago. The focal point is a tiny silver sand dollar that measures half a centimeter or 0.2 inches. Aperture about f/5.
Wanted to avoid blowing highlights and still pick up some reflections from the black surface.

In Infrared this time.

I had the opportunity to head back to see family over the weekend and while there took a trip out to Yateley Common to see if I could find some Silver-studded Blues. Luckily I found a few however I think in a week or so the numbers will be far greater. Won't get much chance to get away now until early September so it was a real treat to find this smart female settling in for the night.

Saturday Self Challenge Silver
Needless to say I I was very pleased when the waitress included this silver spoon with the coffee.....and that I had my camera with me at the time.
A female silver-washed fritillary at Fermyn Woods, Northamptonshire UK
When they widened the rides at Fermyn a year or two ago I must admit I thought they had ruined it - it looked awful.
This year it has grown over. It looks a picture and is excellent for butterflies and dragon flies. I believe this is a joint effort between the Forestry Commission and Butterfly Conservation.
Well done!

My unsuccessful trip to see purple emperors was successful for silver-washed fritillary. Although I've seen this species plenty of times before the majority have either been moving around at lightning speeds or too far for photos. This one however, sat on this bramble bush for ages giving me my best views ever
