Thank you

Shall do thanks. There is a report on cloudbirders too with some coordinates for butterflies.

Hello all, I am hoping to spend a week late July in Hungary looking predominantly for butterflies. I am thinking of staying at FarmLator which I know some people here have been to. Sadly, I am not able to afford to go with a tour company so will be on my own. I was wondering if anyone had any sites,...

Thanks - that was the reasoning behind my query too!

Hi all,

I had previously though this to be L.petropolitana but now I am having second thoughts.

I don't have any better images I am afraid. The image was taken in the Rila mountain region(not very high up) in July.
any help appreciated - ta!

Cheers guys, appreciate the help and the pointers.

The learning continues!!

Hi again, I am pretty certain both are in flight at the same time around the last week of July that I was there. I have been spending a lot of time looking at them comparing images etc to try and get the jizz. Been interested to know any further opinions - have also added a few other species from BG...

Hi all, May I have some help on a few images I have not cataloged yet please? They will be of variable quality I am afraid and recently getting into butterflies I find some very hard! If anyone would be able to offer some tips as to how they have reached their decision I'd greatly appreciate it as I...

Hi - thanks

Both seen in southern Bulgaria, first taken around sea level, second picture taken around 1500m. I believe I meant to post this image as a chalkhill blue rather than the one I did (blame it on a long day birding).

Hi again

No flight shots - I have added two pics. One of a different one I think is Adonis that was nearby and then another butterfly which I believe is Chalkhill Blue. I am pleased to see that I am not the only one who may struggle with ID sometimes!

Hi all

Thanks for your time and comments.

Apologies for the lateness in my reply (very busy).

I will have a look through pics tomorrow but I do not think I have any flight shots, I might have some more of similar individuals though.

Thanks

Thank you both for your time commenting on here. I think I will give it a miss - at least until I can maybe flick through it. I have the Collins and the Higgins/Riley books - they will do for the time being. I'd just like a few more pointers of what to look for along with images

Hi Tony, Thanks for the speedy reply and your opinion on the matter. I have only managed to look at a few plates and they do look very small and cramped. I have the Collin's guide which I find pretty adequate. If anyone else has anything to add or perhaps some similar suggestions, I'd be happy to he...

Hi folks, Being quite a new convert to butterflies from 20 years of birding I am finding my first year quite hard. This is often because I am not sure where to look on a butterflies underside to figure out an ID. I spent a top 9 days this July in Bulgaria and I am still going through photos from an ...

Hi there, I am thinking about purchasing this book - I know that it is not an identification guide as such. I was wondering if anyone owned a copy and if they could comment on the quality and usefulness of it? I'd really appreciate it as it is quite costly! Thanks in advance. Jon Link to book: https...
