A few butterfly photos from a day spent in North West England. Some of these species (especially the fritillaries) cannot be identified from just the upperwing .You need to see the underwing pattern, which unfortunately is not always easy to get photos of. You'll just have to take my word that we did see the underwing on each of the individuals below, and they were all positively identified.
High Brown Fitillary (20+)
High Brown Fitillary (20+)

Also seen today: Painted Lady, Small Tortoiseshell, Dark Green Fritillary (50), Small Heath, Large Skipper, Speckled Wood, Dingy Skipper, Large White.
