GRAYLING BUTTERFLIES AT FAIRHAVEN.

Over the last couple of years I`ve been trying to photograph grayling butterflies,chasing them up and down the sand dunes at Fairhaven but when they landed on the paths their wings were always closed and they looked such a dull butterfly camouflaged into the sand.That all changed this year when I found the butterfly feeding on sea holly,what a butterfly and a privilege to photograph.Upto nine butterflies were feeding on the same plant with lots of interaction and I was treated to a true spectacle of the graylings lifestyle.I`ve posted a series of images showing some of the action and was very pleased to capture images of its wings open showing the true beauty of the butterfly.

Martin. Once again your butterfly images are superb.You made full use of your time with the graylings and obtained some wonderful shots,especially with wings open. Well done.
