Two photos from Mike who sent them in commenting as follows:

Marvellous walk at Lankham Bottom this morning, 19/05/2022.  Literally hundreds of Wood Tiger moths, my first Brown Argus of the year, a Speckled Yellow moth, the usual collection of Common Blues, Dingy and Grizzled Skippers, one high speed fly-past by a Painted Lady and a couple of Marsh Fritillaries.

This Marsh Fritillary is not just another Marsh Fritillary though, it’s special because it’s my first ever!
