I took this photo of a argus also on Whitbarrow Scar on 9th July 2007. Unfortunately I did not get any underwing shots. This was the first and only argus I saw in a 5 day Cumbria trip. I assume that this was a NBH but would be interested to here any opinions. Wayne http://upload2.postimage.org/40268...

Eccles,

I saw the BH close to where I met you.

On Friday 27th I photographed a single female Brown Hairstreak at Ravensroost Wood in Wiltshire. I revisted the wood today (Sunday 29th) but did not see any BH. A Holy Blue was seen in the carpark and a small copper in the meadow. Regards Wayne http://upload2.postimage.org/23085/BrownHairstreak_800....

I have always stuck to aperature priority but I will try Shutter priority this weekend at Finemere for Black Hairstreak. My equipment is a Canon 20D and Canon 100mm Macro. I do think that most of my problem with the Chequered was either camera shake or subject movement (wind) so I think a faster shu...

Having also made a trip to Scotland for Chequered Skipper (9th -12th June) with the weather hot and sunny throughout I took many many photos of the skippers but the standard just does reach that of Pete's excellent shots. Well done Pete. I would appreciate what settings you used. From Scotland I tra...
