Canon EF 180mm Macro
Sold.
Thanks for allowing be to advertise here. Richard

I have a Canon 180mm macro which I bought for over £1000 last year. I have hardly used it, preferring my 100mm macro. I would like to sell it. I have no idea of a reasonable price. It is boxed and looks new. It has a lens filter to protect the lens. I guess £700 would be good but I am open to offers...

I phoned English Nature - 01539 531 604.

Hope that number is ok.

Again, your help much appreciated.

Pete, It does help but I cannot see the pictures of the females 1, 2 + 3. Sorry to be a pain but I cannot make out the sex brands on the upper wings of the fritillaries. I know where they are on skippers and on the Wall so I guess across the forewing? Would it be possible to give me the links for th...

Thanks for you help with the upper wing spot on HBF vs DGF. Does anyone know how to differentiate between male and female HBF (either from above or below) please?? I have heard of the term sex brand but an not sure what that is. Actually, I will now try googling that term but might get some 'interes...

Yep - I see what you mean.

Thanks.

Thanks

The ones I saw today were at Gait Barrows.

I attach a HBF I took at Arnside approx 3 weeks ago - seems to have a 'large' spot to me

Richard

Thanks Pete, I can see the images now. How reliable is this? I was photographing 4 frits following each other around this morning. I thought they were all HBFs. I definitely saw the underside of one - it was a HBF without doubt so i though they were all HBFs. However, my pics show at least 1 with a ...

Pete,

Thanks for pointing me to your site.

You reply above "This is based on the upperwing spot, as shown here: "

but I can't see anything there! Any idea why?

Thanks

Richard
