Lovely photos coming in, still very windy here but in pockets of sunshine to-day, this is what I saw. Red Admiral, Holly blue and I not 100% sure but I think a Small White.
Shirley

Thanks very much Alexander.

To-day I saw this flower in a grassy bank and at first it looked like a Bluebell but I'm sure its not, and I don't think its a Ramson either in an old book its says a Summer Snowflake, it has straight leaves a bit like a Bluebell. the photos a bit blurred, it was very windy as per usual.

Has anyone used a Ring Flash for taking macro photos, there seems to be one for most cameras except Sony.
Shirley

Just got lucky to-day, I've been searching for this little one for a long time, even got the camera settings right. Shirley

Well done Denise, good for you. Oh Pete, I like the photo frames very nice.

It is right Dave, last night I got my flower books out and there it was, I've never seen it before. It is in a wood, a very shady area and damp. To-day the weather is cloudy. typical.
Shirley

Thanks Gary, I've never heard of that one before, yours was close Dave but it was whiteish pink not yellow, I'll get a better photo tomorrow.

DSC01599.JPG , there was a large area covered in this flower, the Sp'Woods were all over it. My friend Margaret Woods said there were Orange Tips all up here lane and of course I was too late and they had all gone but this is the flower they were on and I thought it was flowering nettle but I have ...

Eccles, got it wrong have I well to-day I suddenly saw an OT and jumped out of the car and started taking photos like mad, butterflies everywhere, I was so busy I forgot all my training with the camera settings and had the thing on Auto :lol: , it was a lay by on a country lane flowers and ivy every...

Gary, how do you get your photos into these frames, I think you have given them a nice finishing touch. They are all very nice, my favourite is the Orange Tip.
Shirley

Thanks Roger, fantastic waterfalls also thanks for the information.
Shirley

One or two came out to-day at last, Orange Tip, Holly Blues and Small White. Shirley

Roger, where are the waterfall photos, I liked to see those please. I like the your photos, not easy to get a Dipper, there are Ospreys nesting in Porthmadoc but even though they have a viewing place, its too far for photos I think.
Shirley

Glad you had a nice day Neil, also the weather was good to bring people out for the day.
Shirley

Dave, maybe the Robin is feeding or perhaps its got mites. As the butterflies have left the Lleyn Peninsula :( I've wandered off to the local golf course with the big lens and managed to get this Linnet, Ive never really seen one before and it was impossible to get really close, linnet 19.04.09.jpg ...

I would like my great nephew to join, he loves gardening and helping his Dad. I am going to buy him easy seeds to grow which will attract butterflies and hope he'll grow up and love all things in the wild starting with butterflies, his name is Oliver, he's nearly 2, he talks mostly double dutch, he'...

Getting the hang of the 500mm reflex. Shirley

Lots of stunning photos of Orange Tips, the Ladies Smock and Garlic Mustard is not out here but the Honesty is, I saw one the other day and a Speckled Wood to-day but got in a tangle trying to change lenes, I needed three hands :? I took a nice Tortoiseshell the other day with that lens but the back...

What beautiful photos of the OT Neil, just something a bit different, its such a small but very pretty butterfly, pity it only come out once in the season.
