User's notes
Two patrolling, and occasionally fighting with the Dainty Swallowtail and with each other. Pic 4 is both of them on the ground (locked in combat) they both flew up apparently unharmed. I believe pic 5 is a different individual from pics 1,2&3. Noticeably smaller than the Dainty Swallowtail.

Looks like you had a great time on top of Black Mountain on 6 Feb - what was it, eleven different species of butterfly?

Certainly did :) Actually twelve species, somehow I forgot to photograph the Cabbage Whites ;).

Very jealous and I too wouldn't have bothered with photographing the Cabbage Whites.
