Three butterflies spotted on my morning walk.

This beauty and common butterfly i believe landed on my back door step about an hour ago hopefully I can post my other main photo I took of the Marbled White I took earlier in the week too Edit should've said its south Birmingham Billesley

Taken at Ashton Clinton Ragpits in bucks
Not sure which type of skipper
There are definitely large skippers there but can’t tell which this is
Apologies for the not great photos. It was quite far away and I only had my phone

Lovely Small Skipper, one of lots on the wing this morning :)

I initially planted marjoram as a culinary herb. Now I just let it do its own thing and it's a magnet for flying insects.

Spotted the Gatekeeper on my morning walk. Several of the Skippers in the garden.

Seeing lots of butterflies this year but this is the first time I've seen one of these in our garden. In Kent, south coast.

The commas in the particular patch of brambles I took this one in are usually very quick to fly off and hide when I even catch a glimpse of them there for a few seconds, so was pleasantly surprised that despite the lack of a clear sky for optimal sunlight, it took me no more than five minutes at the most to get a decent photo of this one.

This is the only good picture I got before they all flew away. I expect they'll be back though.

One of quite a few Marbled Whites on the wing in north Devon today, one of my favourite species 😍

Taken with my new Canon R50. I’m trying to get into wildlife photography. Commas are among some of the most common I have seen recently. It’s a great year for butterflies!

Three seen in the garden this afternoon. Not 100% sure of the Blue's ID, it barely stopped moving.

NW England up on a fell

Three of the butterflies seen on a morning walk. The wind didn't help taking pictures! I hope I got the ID right.
