Both sides of a pair of Glanvilles from today.

Although I have no photos I saw Lulworth at Newtown National Nature Reserve today, but looking at the distribution maps is shows that they are not here. Does anyone know if they have been spotted that far East before?

Back to Shepherd's Chine for an hour this morning, got LOADS of photos


This is straight out of the camera...


Martin.

Just wanted to comment on the quality of your photographs...truly stunning!

Martin.

Well spotted that man!

Thank you Mike...we had planned to go up to the Peak anyway so I will be sure to have my good camera with me

Guys, I am going to be stopping off in Hong Kong for 3 nights on my way to Sydney in October...does anyone know of some places I can go for butterflies? I will also be doing another 3 nights there on the way back 6 weeks later in early December.

After years of Umming and Ahhing I finally took the plunge and could not be happier. I settled on the Zeiss Terra ED 10x42 in the end, key reasons being the close focus (5 feet) and price. With an rrp of £450 they are not cheap ( I got them online for £373 ) but compared to Leica at £1600, a bargain...

Trev...probably because they walk across paths and under peoples feet, this one certainly nearly went that way

Is this a Garden Tiger moth please?


Martin.
