Marbled white butterfly in Yorkshire

The marbled whites were at their best today at Brockadale YWT reserve. This is one of the best places to see marbled white butterfly in Yorkshire as it is fairly small and the butterflies are concentrated in a single area. I had a productive couple of hours here today and managed some really nice images of the newly hatched insects and also managed some good stuff of ringlet too. Meadow brown was on the wing there too but eluded me on this trip as did the banded demoiselles. The light was overcast which was perfect for the photos and the temperatures were warm enough for the insects to be on the wing but not too active to be stalked.
