Re: July 2023
Visited St Cyrus nnr yesterday again. An abundance of DGF and grayling butterfly on the wing. Also seen tortoiseshell, red admiral, green veined white, small heath, ringlet, meadow brown and common blue.
Re: July 2023
Visited St Cyrus NNR near Montrose today.
Difficult to photograph the butterflies due to the windy conditions.
Managed my first grayling butterfly and dark green fritillary butterfly of the season.
Best photos attached.

Berti - NBA Grantown-on-Spey I'll have to reschedule my plans. It's only about a 40-minute drive to Grantown for me. I don't normally see NBA until the first week of July, so your sightings this early are a surprise. I did see Small PBF on 8th June. My 'hot spot' is close to the River Spey wher...

Re: June 2023
Staying up in Forres for the weekend so visited Grantown on Spey this morning to look for NBA.

Re: June 2023
Lots of Small blue and dingy skipper on the wing at Logie Quarry near Tain today. Those are great images of the Small Blues, Bertl. Caught the light just right. :mrgreen: Thanks David. The Dingy Skipper was a first for me. I have also never seen so many small blues on the wing. Logie quarry is a fa...

Re: May 2023
Visited Appin on the Scottish West Coast yesterday. Chequered skipper, SPBF, Marsh Fritillary and Small heath on the wing. Lovely photos there Bertl which I view with a tinge of jealousy. A nice array of lesser seen butterflies. I have yet to even see a SPBF which I am a bit ashamed of. Thanks Otep...

Thanks David. It was a great day out especially when the Scottish weather is kind to you.

Re: May 2023
Around a dozen more PBF on the wing at Cambus o may yesterday. They only appeared once the sun came out. They were very active but managed a few shots as they stopped to nectar.
Re: May 2023
At last PBF have appeared at Cambus o may on deeside. Around half a dozen on the wing late today.
Re: May 2023
Visited cambus o may on deeside today. Still no PBF on the wing, I assume the cold spring up here in the North has delayed everything?
A few peacock butterfly and speckled wood butterfly on the wing.

Green Hairstreak Site near Forres, Scotland
I am spending this weekend in Forres.
Does anyone know of a good Green Hairstreak site where I have a great chance of photographing this fantastic little butterfly, spring weather permitting of course.
Cheers
Bert
