Butterfly Tour Operators
Peter As you know, I have been on this site almost from day one. I am not as active as I once was, but I still look at this forum almost every day. I am really disappointed that you took down my post in reply to Ian Pratt's request for information on butterfly tour operators. Of course you will have...

Hi Don't post a lot these days, but have been on the site since, virtually, day one. However - this weekend we had a fabulous walk around the Roseland Peninsular in Cornwall.

Saving the Blue
As it looks pretty iffy weatherwise on Monday, at least for butterfly chasing, I would like to draw your attention to, what I hope will be a great program on BBC Radio 4 Extra. 10:00, and repeated at 15:00, it is the story of Jeremy Thomas and his attempt to save the Large Blue from extinction at &q...

Re: Canon camera and lens servicing options
Hi These guys did an excellent job cleaning and servicing my bodies (2x7D MkIIs) and lenses (7 in total) - and, this is the crucial bit, - calibrating the autofocus for each lens with each body. Best money I have ever spent on camera gear. If you are searching for sharpness - auto-focus calibration ...

Re: Tick-borne encephalitis in UK
Hi Avoid using DEET anywhere that it can touch camera plastics. I had some on my face, and where my nose touched the viewing screen, it turned it horribly opaque. The bottle base had some on it, and melted a nasty circle on the plastic shelf in the bathroom of my campervan. My record for ticks is 13...

Re: Life Cycles of British and Irish Butterflies
Well Pete-
What a fabulous book. So comprehensive, and much much more than just life cycles.
I think my wife summed it up when she glanced over my shoulder and said "What a gorgeous book."
Cheers
