These have taken a while to sort out

No doubt someone who knows more about butteflies than me will come along - hopefully Cin, but I think some if not all off the 'Large Whites' could be Green Veined Whites ... I'm probably wrong though ... . I was going off the dusting on the veins, and the lighter colour of the wing tips.

SnappyMac said:Thanks PB, went back today to see if I could find a male. No luck though...
Really! I didn't know you were that way inclined. What will Mrs SnappyMac say. Well each to his own ...
You would have thought they could have come up with more definitive markings You are probably right about them being Green-veined...
A Common Whitethroat is good, checking back it is the one I usually see...
