Captured along the Exe estuary.
I think the first two are the female they are the same one at different angles and the third pic (a different one near by ) is a female.

A nice trio of pics of the Meadow Brown Beryl.

This year looks set to be a disaster for butterflies. The best I have seen - with a struggle - have been one or two Large and Small Heath, and the other day I saw a Large Skipper......this is becoming serious.

Yes Thank you Pete.
Down here the council is more interested in shaving every thing to the ground so it looks neat for the summer visitors. This is a holiday town . Nothing for the residents in the winter, never mind Wrens and Robins who build there nest close to the ground or the butterflies. The banks of the brook a not just trimmed but shaven so no butterflies along there same along the estuary.
Very sad

Merlin Regular Member Info Real name: Pete Location: N W England Gallery: 6 Equipment: Nothing but my notebook which is one of the most important parts of birding. To go out without it (which I only ever did once) is like going out without your pants on. I've never understood why I responded to the 'Cameras and Equipment' question in this way because in reality I own a Leica Telescope with eyepieces, Zeiss Binoculars, and a Manfrotto Tripod all of which cost a positive fortune.
