Hi Neil,
As always your pictures are super. I especially love the female common blue. Not see one in Shropshire yet (less anybody knows where they are?)

Debbie

Hi Goldie,

I agree Mike gives good sound advice as is Pauls, I look forward to seeing your photos with your new camera.

Debbie

Hi Goldie, I love your pictures, and thank you for your kind comments about mine. I wish I had more time to get out and take more pictures. I was happy that at £70 if it was a mistake, it was not too big and Jessops did let you take it back also withing 30 days if you did not like it. I have looked ...

Hi, Will your camera take a Tamron 70-300 with Macro setting. (you will need to check this out) I have one that I started with on my (first) DSLR Canon. It has the added advantage of Zoom and the Macro setting to. I paid about £70 for it in the sale and it has often been on sale. here are 2 pictures...

Hi Pauline,

I have been busy working this year to do to much with the forumn, but I am getting out and about and taking pictures too when I get the chance.

Your pictures are interesting & inspiring.

Best Wishes Debbie

Gruditch, Johnr, Mark, Mike, Dave, Bill, Badgerbob, Neil. Many thanks for your useful comments. It is the view finder that I am concerned about, but I am going to get one, and see how it goes. I certainly do not want to stop using my DSLR, but I simply cannot take it with me everyday and I have miss...

Thank you for all your helpful comments.

A couple of mintues away from Prees Heath is Brown Moss Nature reserve and I have photographed Orange tips, Peacocks, Small Coppers, various whites. I called in at Prees Heath 2 weekends ago and photographed two small coppers as small as my thumb nail, but in beautiful condition. As well as the SSB ...

Mainly Butterflies when it is not practical to take the DSLR with me, or birds in trees, and other insects too. So I want the Zoom to get closer and the Macro for those who sit and pose. I am sorry if I am not more technical.

Thanks Debbie

I applogise for raising this subject again - I love my DSLR, and I am learning that each type of camera comes into its own at different times. I use a canon 500d for my DSLR. I now need some clarificaation bringing to the Bridge cameras. I do not want a compact? What Bridge camera do you use and why...

We had 14 degrees in Shropshire yesterday. After a hard mornings work in the garden, a beautifully fresh butterfly landed in the garden, which we think is a comma due to the markings, but by the time hubby got the camera, off it had flown. We went out a little later and saw a male brimstone with the...

I am currently watching this DVD. It is very intersting and very informative. I am really enjoying watching it. There are many butterflies that I have still to see for the first time and it is great to see them on this DVD and learn more about them. (Pete's superb pictures are a wonderful) Just the ...

These were taken at Prees Heath, and again a first time I have seen SSB's. The mating pair were tucked away on a very dull and windy day.

Thank you everybody, all this information is really helpful. The photos are wonderful.

I still have to see over half of the british butterflies including the swallowtail.

Thanks Debbie

Susie,
A belated 'Happy Birthday'

Thank you Neil and Goldie.

All of this is really helpful.

Debbie

Thank you David, Paul and Mike for the info and Mike for the great photo too.
Hubby has os map out and is pinning the areas to work out the best area to stay when we go.

Debbie

Hi,

When will Swallowtails be on the wing? Can anybody please tell me of any booklets, leaflets or books that would help a first time butterflier to Norfolk?

Thanks Debbie
