I've been trying to get a good photo of one of these beauties for many years, they seem to be very skittish and off before I could take a shot. I'm pleased with the first photo of them I've managed to get.
I also saw two small tortoiseshell butterflies, (no photos). Like the last one I saw up there, they were feeding on the now fast-fading daffodils on Ogden Lane.

Oh Gordon - we might have seen you as we were walking back off Ovenden Moor towards Ogden Lane. Were you with a walking stick near the top of a quarry around 2 pm -ish or soon after. If it was you I'm kicking myself now for not coming to have a chat.

Yes, I was at the top of the quarry at that time with my trusty metal walking stick. I was making my way back to Ogden for the bus to Halifax. It would have been nice to meet you. Fate is very strange, fance us being on the moor at the same time. Maybe one day we shall meet, (I hope).
