Got my eyes peeled, Ruth!
 Thanks for the link, interesting info on there! I watched the article on Butterflies on BBC1 this morning, such a massive decline with a lot of butterfly species!

Hi all, I saw several painted ladies today.
Together with some of the more common ones, I have never seen quite so many butterflies. I took in the region of 350 photographs which I am going through now... In a very small area I saw several small coppers, several veined whites, several speckled wood, hundreds of large white and common blues (both male and female). Numerous gatekeepers, meadow browns, a couple of tortoishells. Oh and some moths which I don't have a clue! Going for something to eat now having been out all day but will post a few up over the next couple of days. perhaps John will be able to help with the moths
