Re: millerd
Read a posting on a French site reporting 1000's of Painted Ladies at Creux Du Van Switzerland nr French border on Aug 1st, IF we get a settled spell perhaps we may see a few more ? Would go a small way to making amends for the poor show we have had thus far ! ![Mr. Green :mrgreen:](./images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)

Re: Orangetip var ?
It seems this may be an aberration called "parvipuncta" due to the crescent shaped discoidal spots on the wings, awaiting confirmation from BCHQ.

Re: Goldie M
Hi Goldie, my mother in law was bemoaning the fact that all her Blackbirds have disappeared. I think the answer lies with the abundance of berries in the wild at the moment.

Thankyou Gentlemen !, not to worry, it just presents the opportunity for another visit !! . I was erring on the side of DGF, but not having experienced HBF before I could not be certain.
