Well, it was a beautiful day!
Saturday it began to rain just as I was leaving hehe

To confirm, this is a female High Brown Fritilliary?

Thanks

Taken at Arnside Knott It looks just like a Common Blue, but it was about 1/2 the size, and all the others in the area were the same size. Is there ...

Oy, those last 2 shots (females) are truly breathtaking.

Well done

Has anyone had any sighting of the Scotch Argus yet?

Hoping to find an early one or two at Arnside Knott on friday...

Hehe, I'll make the trip anyhow, I'll be glad of a break and its been a while since I have been camping.

wwwa.accuweather.com tells me it will be "Warm with sunny periods", so as long as I use that forcast everything should be fine!

Has anyone noticed that the BBC weather website changes its mind a lot? I'm off the Arnside Knott on friday... On monday BBC tells me the weather on friday will be "big yellow sun" On tuesday it tells me it will be "white outline cloud with yellow rays" Today (wednesday) it tells...

I guess this is a moth caterpillar, but by any chance does anyone know what it is?

First time I'd seen a Comma, I think usually they dont come up this far north, I was quite excited hehe!

Mine is a male then? http://www.wayno.myby.co.uk/album/Butterflies/slides/IMG_1426.JPG Sorry to hijack your post David! By the way, my aftershave might work with fritillaries but it doesn't seem to have the same effect with blondes, brunettes and red heads. Hmm mine isn't working either, perhaps tal...

Nice pic

For years and years this thing has evaded me, I've only seen one 2 times, once as a young child and once earlier this year outside my window at work!

I'm determined to get a photo of one this year though...

How do you know they are females Pete? Something to do with David's aftershave?

Could it not have been a comma? The form that emerge earlier have more rounded wings.

Yep large, hooked antenna

Nice pics, I have problems getting close to the whites, still havent got a good photo of one

Its a "Peacock"!

I use iPhoto to catalogue and crop my pics (it makes it really easy to set or keep aspect ratio)

I use Adobe Photoshop for editing, but to be honest I'm not very good at it (I think I need a crashcourse!)

On the PC I used to use Paint Shop Pro, great program!

Nice, yes it would be nice if the whole thing was pin-sharp, but the main thing is you have the eye nice and sharp and pretty much all but the wing tips is in focus. No distracting bachground, position in the frame makes a big difference, as you can see from Oy's crop! I would be happy with it, espe...

Hmm I'm not a youth!!

Perhaps I can hide my tent in some trees somewhere

OSX (mac's OS) streams wmv fine as long as you have the addon installed. It also plays just about anything else, however I also refuse to install any Real applications for the same reasons outlined by Mark, it really used to mess up Windows systems. Of course you wouldnt have this problem with a mac...
