I would agree with the first reply; One of the brown butterflies for the first and a geometrid (looper) moth for hte second. Sorry I cannot be more specific

I would say that this year has been an excellent year for getting good sightings of purple hairstreak. On Sunday at Bookham common there were numerous examples of males and females, some well worn, nectaring on bramble. Perhaps the warm dry summer is bringing them down from the trees? Later on I fou...

I am very pleased at last we've now got an outcome. However, it's not quite all over yet. Although I have the pics on my home PC (the PC I'm working on now) the ones I sent to UK BF message boards are on my works PC. The reason? The files are 2.5MB in size and I don't have image editing software at ...

Mark thanks for reading and replying, and sorry for forgetting your name. Saturday (10th) early, is a bit awkward but I'll do my best. I can definitely make it around 11:00 Hope you've already seen the LTB pics I've posted (had to use a camera and photo the TV screen ... hope they'll agree it is a L...

Oops missed one and duplicated another

i now sit back and wait in anticipation

I'm based in sheerwater, Woking surrey. I've taken some photo's of the images on my TV (you'll have to excuse the quality) I've scaled them down to around 250kB in size. How do i upload them? i tried clicking on the Img button but all that happened was this came up ?? I was expecting to navigate to ...

I'm sorry if I sound hopeless but I haven't a clue how to use YOUTube (I struggle with navigating around this forum as it is). My Disc has around 24 minutes of footage more than half which is family stuff and the butterfly shot in question lasts around 25 seconds. I cannot get my partners or my daug...

Thanks Pete Unfortunately the name doesn't ring a bell. Ive partly gone through the members list but there's tons from that area!! Whilst doing this I spotted Colin Baker. Nice fellow. Met him last year and this year also. Unfortunately he's away this weekend in Cornwall. The Portsmouth chap; late 2...

The picture posted shows the buuterfly at an angle very similar to the one on my camcorder. As I said I have sought advice today aty work. my mate reckons i should have a transfer cable from camcorder to USB so I'm going to look for that. I showed the the video to a work colleage an lepidoptera expe...

Thanks for all your replies. With respect to trying to post you (Pete Eales the video file) I can't even get it to play on my computer let alone try and post it. The cam corder uses mini 1.4GB DVD discs and the ones I've been getting recently don't have a re-write option, or initialise or finalise ....

Help me please I'm new to this forums business but I want to report a butterfly sighting and can't seem to get anywhere! I thought i could email Pete Eales but I seem to be going around in circles. I've no idea who the "county recorder" is so now that I'm in I'm going to let you know what ...
