Re: Mark Colvin
Mill Hill, 25 August 2011 Low grey cloud and frequent showers was the order of the morning at Mill Hill. I arrived early and finally gave up when the wind and rain didn’t at about 10.45am. I was hoping to find Adonis Blue roosting and sheltering out of reach from the weather. I sadly didn’t find an...

Sussex Moth for ID
Can anyone help with a name for this moth. It was found in my bathroom this morning having come to light overnight? I've checked Moths of the British Isles by Skinner and British Pyralid Moths by Goater and can't come up with a name.
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards. Mark

Re: Lee Hurrell
Hi Lee, Nice report and pictures. I particularly like the first Brown Hairstreak shot and the Aston Rowant shots of Brown Argus where a lovely blue hue is picked up (or is that just my eyes). Did you take these with the Panasonic? By the way you get some strange 'sparrows' in Greenford! Good hunting...

Re: Mark Colvin
Mill Hill, 24 August 2011 An early start saw me setting off in cloud and light drizzle with the ground wet underfoot ... not a good start! However, by the time I’d reached my destination traces of blue were showing through and by 9.30am the sun was out. My first 45 minutes or so (under a cloud cove...

Re: Mark Colvin
Hi Neil, Thanks for your comments. I'm glad you like the shots. I like the series of GV White shots earlier. I think that this is one species that is often overlooked in our quests for more elusive quarry and yet it has a delicate beauty all of its own. I couldn't agree more with you and I have to b...

Tuesday, 23 August 2011 As my last posting on ‘Bathroom Entomology’ (or how many different moths can you catch in your bathroom overnight) was on Thursday, 4 August, I thought a brief update was appropriate. In all fairness things have been very quiet, particularly on the larger moth front. I have ...

Re: Mark Colvin
Thanks Chris, i do like the texture detail in the skipper. very nice indeed. I'm glad you like the shot. I didn't expect to get anything this afternoon as I had very little time and it was really windy on the hill. I just kept clicking away and kept my fingers crossed! Good hunting. Kind regards. Mark

Re: Susie
Sounds like my holiday Susie.
I've just had a week in Italy (Rome, Pisa and Venice). It was 37 degrees the first day in Rome and didn't cool down much after that ... that's just TOO hot! (and I forgot my camera)!!
Good hunting.
Kind regards. Mark

Re: Mark Colvin
Steyning and Chantry Hill, 22 August 2011 Correctly anticipating a large gathering yesterday (see Sussex Kipper's report) I decided to leave my visit to Steyning Rifle Range, in search of the illusive Brown Hairstreak, until today. Good plan I hear you say … except the weather didn’t play ball. I a...

Halnaker Hill, 21 August 2011 After much discussion as to what to do this afternoon we, that is my wife, daughter and son, finally agreed that a walk to Halnaker Windmill would hopefully blow away a few cobwebs left over from our recent overseas holiday. This was certainly a better option than the ...

Southwater, 20 August 2011 To say I have been ‘gagging at the bit’ to get out would be a bit of an understatement. Having spent the last week doing the Italian history thing (Rome, Pisa and Venice) and looking at far too many churches, basilicas, temples, palaces, monuments etc I was ready to blow!...

Thanks Neil,
Now I'm really fed up with looking at old buildings. I've had enough of Italy and want to come home!!!
Best wishes. Julius

Re: Sussex Kipper
Hi Neil,
Some nice SSS pictures. Well done as I know how difficult they are to get. I look forward to seeing your Brown Hairstreak shots and hopefully I'll catch up with a few on my return.
Good hunting.
Kind regards. Mark

Rome, 13 August 2011
Whilst sitting drinking a cold beer on the roof garden of my hotel in central Rome I watched a single Geranium Bronze (Cacyreusp marshalli) nectaring and posing for pictures ... and guess where my camera is - not in Rome!
Good hunting.
