Dear Bob
I am puzzled by the left-hand specimen, which seems very close to
Spotted Fritillary (Melitaea didyma) on the forewings, but not the hind;
I don't suppose you got the underwings?
The middle one looks like Knapweed Fritillary (Melitaea phoebe).
The right-hand one is surely a Small Copper (Lycena phlaes).
They are nice photos, particularly the left-hand Fritillary, which is
clearly very fresh.
Best

No underwing shots unfortunately.

I agree with the above The Spotted can be a nightmare, this is a local variant M. d.meridionalis
