I've been after a shot of one of these elusive Butterflies(and they are the common ones) all summer and had a bit of success today. They spend all there time at the top of, mainly, Oak trees and are rarely seen. You can get them at low levels but it would be a case of being in the right place at the right time. They are not the best of shots but good enough for a record shot and keyword tag in Butterflies.
