Superb GH shots Zigzag!

I have had 3 trips to Rowland Wood on Wed, Sat and Sunday but not got the shot I wanted with a clear background for various reasons.
It was a pleasure to bump into Gary and John on Wed, Trevor on Saturday and Neil , Jonathan , Paul and others this evening.

Interesting and beautiful find - congratulations

Lovely upper side shots

If it makes you feel better I had the same experience at Abbotts Wood. 4 GHs briefly seen, 4 large whites and a few Peacocks.

Congratulations on you GH shots

Striking open wing markings on your large white

Yesterday I went to Abbots Wood to see the bluebells. It was mainly grey with an occasional sunny spell. Only one Peacock seen in terms of butterflies but plenty of speckled yellow moths. The floral display was spectacular with bluebells, wood-sorrel and yellow archangel seen. Plenty of loud bird so...

Hi Trevor , suspect same butterfly as yours but not sure.

Beautiful shot!

Good selection of photos. The in context shot really gives a flavour of the site

Bonus photo of female OT from yesterday
Interaction shot very blurry but I like the way the female looks like a flower

Cracking set of images Katrina, love the Holly Blues although my favourite has to be 'Host and the star...' 8) :D The Cuckoo Trail certainly has one of those names that suggest great things and certainly seems to live up to the hype :D Thanks Wurzel fabulous place but no Cuckoo flower (at least whe...

Congratulations on finding the GH

Nice final comma shot - a different perspective and you can really see the hairs.
