Well done with the Red Admiral; and a super picture too.
I'm looking forward to getting the next few weeks under our belts and seeing the Butterflies and Wild Flowers again.
Until then, it's Birds; hopefully our local long-staying Black Redstart will hang around until the Spring.

Re: Mike Robinson
Goldie,
Thanks.
I don't like snow. I remember we woke up to some snow one morning a couple of weeks ago but it went pretty quickly. I hope that if you have some it will be gone super-quick.
Kind regards ~ Mike ...

Re: Mike Robinson
Neil, Thanks for noticing this. So far I'm having great fun with the local birds this year including seeing yesterday, our long-staying Black Redstart, a Rock Pipit and a Mediterranean Gull but I'm really looking forward to getting to grips with the Butterflies again this year. I can only hope I wil...

Re: Mike Robinson
Trevor,
Thanks.
It was actually quite weird. The Butterfly looked very much like an old dried leaf that had come to life! If anything, it reminded me of a Comma Butterfly.
I chased after it and thankfully it settled for long enough to be photographed.
Kind regards ~ Mike ...

Re: Mike Robinson
Well; we weren't really expecting to see a Butterfly, let alone photograph one, until probably late-February or early-March. So it came as a super pleasant surprise whilst walking around the Gardens at Hall Place in Bexley to both see a Butterfly (a Small Tortoiseshell ) and after chasing it around ...

Another Brown Argus Butterfly Please?
Sorry to bother but I seem to be seeing quite a lot of Brown Argus Butterflies at the moment but not too many female Common Blue Butterflies; including the character in the picture. butterflybostallheath2august2015.jpg I need reassurance please to confirm I'm not going off on completely the wrong tr...

A Purple Hairstreak Please?
I spotted the character in the picture earlier today in our local Foots Cray Meadows: hairstreakfootscraymeadows22july2015.jpg I have not seen many Hairstreaks apart from a few Green Hairstreaks and one definite Purple Hairstreak on an Oak Tree. There was a nearby Oak Tree and another couple of unid...

Re: A Brown Argus Butterfly Please?
Dear Both:
Thanks very much.
Essex Bertie: although I noticed the dark spot I have seen something similar on female Common Blue Butterflies so wasn't sure how 'portant it is/was for identification purposes.
Once again; thanks very much ~ Mike ...

A Brown Argus Butterfly Please?
Sorry to bother but I came across the character in the pictures earlier today; in the Crayford area (the London Borough of Bexley). Although we cannot see the outside of the Wings the Colour of the Butterfly is a definite Brown and the Abdomen seems quite Long; seemingly ruling out a female Common B...

Re: Mike Robinson
Dave, Howdy. Thanks very much. I had wondered about the top picture being a Brown Argus Butterfly but plumped for a female Common Blue; I'm not aware of Brown Arguses being seen on the Erith Marshes which is where I saw the Butterfly, so it would be really super-dooper if it is a Brown Argus. Please...

Re: Mike Robinson
Wow; almost two months to the day since I last added anything. But I have been out and about; generally locally and thoroughly enjoying myself. But although it's always nice to see Butterflies &c., I think that for me, the principle joy of looking for Butterflies is to photograph them; and that ...
