Two photos from John sent in telling us:

After a fruitless trip to Slop Bog on 29/05/2026 in the hope of seeing some Silver-studded Blues, I made a quick visit to Badbury Rings and there found this beautiful Marbled White.

In Piddles Wood three days later on 01/06/2026 during a brief period of hazy sunshine, I found 6 White Admirals in various parts of the Wood basking in the vegetation.
