   Gordon Hart writes from Highlands:   On August 8, we had a fresh Mourning Cloak on some over-ripe yellow plums and also two Lorquin’s Admirals in pursuit of one another. On August 9, the two Lorquin’s were still here, and a Pine White which landed too high up in a tree for a photo.

  Ian Cooper writes:  Here is another selection from my August 9  photoshoot. All of these photos were taken in View Royal near the 9 km marker before dawn.
