Perranporth

Steve Rogers (SW Optics) kindly showed me the centre of the universe, in Cornwall, for butterflies located at Perranporth. Many Silver Studded Blues were found in a period that is considered to be the end of the first flush of these little stunners. We also found half a dozen Dark Green Fritillary butterflies amongst other species. The first two images are of the Dark Green Fritillary, the third is a Small Skipper and the last a Silver Studded Blue back lit by the sun.
