Good day folks, many thanks to everyone for your interest in yesterdays upload.
Todays offering is a couple of Dukes, these are a bit special in that they are of a second brood for the year, a relatively unusual event for this variety of butterfly.

Just two of the best macro shots - so much wonderful detail and the composition just terrific..Jo
No 2 for me Mike but both great shots well done.
Ray
two superb images Mike - bet there were not many butterflies if any, about today
Certainly no butts flying in our area today Ann, 
Thanks everyone for the comments and votes
Two magnificent shots of this tiny butterfly, you've captured its colours and markings beautifully. There were a few second brood Dukes at Rodborough Common in Stroud, but I did not see any on my recent visit
