Yes
Now the weather has turned warmer the number of Butterflies has increased 10 fold and I`m happy to see so many about, in the 2 days (Yesterday and Today) I have seen 9 different species.
Here was today`s best prize, a Small Copper, it was very happy for me to move about and take lots of shots, This is the best of the bunch I think.

Correct Andy and lovin it large :D in the South of France.
I was in fact chasing a Clouded yellow when I spotted this little chap/ess so I decided to get a shot or 20 of this one.
 
Lucky you and i'm so jealous. We went to the Camargue for 10 days last year on a bird and dragonfly trip. Hope to go back again sometime..
 
Nice work Graham
