I hope this selection from my archives is of interest. These are all from the family Satyridae.

Thank you Brian. These all can be found in grassland and open areas of woodland. This year has been a particularly good year for butterflies (despite all the rain we have been having of late ).
The Ringlet was a first for me and was captured in Cornwall. The ohers I frequently see on Portsdown Hill.
