Today’s post is another small beauty, the Pearly Heath, PärlgräsFjäril.
It’s quite common up here locally but not widespread in Sweden.
Yesterday we only find a couple but today we find them in quite big numbers,
all fresh with lovely colors They are quite small, wing span 28-34 mm and they are on wings from to July.
I hope you like it too.

Hi Gert

Another wonderful shot. I have just got my macro and now realise just how difficult these shots are (or I am just really stupid)!

Really great composition with wonderful detail and colour.

Hej Gert,
I've saved my last points for you as I guessed you'd come up with something brilliant again! This is honestly one of my favourite butterflies!! I've posted one shot last year and that was the only one we've seen here in Scania! - Your caputure is really perfect - need I say any more?
Many, many thanks, Ulla

Hello Gert,
your picture encourages me to think about THEME 2 on Satyrinae (my first theme is complete with 100 pictures). After the summer holidays there will be enough material to start and I will not forget your present contribution.
In particular, I like the details of the wing margins and of the antennae. Superb light and colours, excellent sharpness and clear presentation of the specimen.
Best wishes, Peter

Hej Gert,
A very fine shot! Great colours and composition. The DOF is very nice. Very good exposure too!

Mvh Peter

This is a beautiful shot Gert.
The colours are subtle but there is plenty of detail.
I like the furry edges on this one.
Not a butterfly I'm familiar with.
Good work.

Hej Gert,
Very fine sharp capture of the Pearly Heath that is very rare in Scania. This is a nice fresh specimen shown with good DOF against a pleasing neutral BG.
TFS,
Bästa hälsningar

Kommer du att fotografera alla Gästricklands dagfjärilar till en bok? OM inte, bör du göra det!

Great shot Gert
Wel composed and good sharpness from your bearcan lens
Attractive species, TFS

Chris

Hola Gert,
Preciosa imagen de excelene definición, de bellos colores con una luz y fondo muy agradables, TFS. Saludos
José Ramón

Wow! It looks like being a great time for butterflies’ pictures in your country! This is a beautiful specie that you captured with great skills as usual. I love those details as I feel I can almost touch it :) My only nit is about compo, I would have make it a little less centered by letting more space in front of it and cutting in the low right corner :) I guess that you had to crop it a lot regarding the size of it and this is still an amazing capture :) Thanks

Claudine
