Looks pretty good to me - I saw one today at Pamber Forest, resting on a wood pile, but I scared it off before I could get a photo :)

I had a group of about 6 or 7, sitting very nicely - approachable, great light, no breeze - only problem was I didn't have my tripod (technically I was out dog-walking!); still I'm quite pleased with the hand held shots.

Very impressive :) I had a pretty bad day all round really - cold, windy, overcast and (unsurprisingly) hardly anything on the wing. Best thing at Pamber was a White Admiral and the Dexiosoma but the only things that posed for my poor photos were a few Skippers ... probably frozen to the spot ... the blurred results were probably due to them shivering ;)
