Thanks, just had a Speckled Wood in the garden this morning, have to say looks very different from this sub-species but looking it up can see that's what it was.

Can someone help with id of butterfly seen in southern Spain last week

Not that I'll be able to help you with ids I've seen plenty of European queries (including one from me) so post away I would see

Can anyone confirm this one for me please. Seen last month in Croatia, one of the few bf's I saw

Is this a really bad year for Small Torts? I ask because I have seen plenty of Peacock & Red Admiral in my garden but in the last two months I would say I haven't seen a single ST. Been on a couple of outings to Chambers Wood in Lincolnshire and didn't see one there either so was wondering what ...

I would if I knew where he went !
Couple more pics I took, just doesn't look right yet, buff ermine looks close but seems to have a reddish tinge that this fellar didn't have

Similar but not quite I think, it's the brown head that I'm hoping will clinch it with someone.

Lincolnshire and not marshy so not sure location wise fits either of your suggestions !

Thought this might have been a Garden Tiger or similar but looking it up doesn't seem so. Can anyone oblige with the species. Was crawling on the path in my garden so would be interested in the food plant it came from

I understand they have been seen near to "fiveways". Don't ask me where that is though.

Not sure how far you want to travel but I think Chambers Farm Wood near Bardney must be the best place in Lincs for Butterflies, White Admirals, Marbles Whites etc.
Otherwise check the Lincs Trust website there are a number of reserves on the Humber bank closer to Cleethorpes

3rd one is a Buff Ermine I think

I'll go for the easy ones, last but one Swallowtailed Moth, last one I think is Magpie Moth although has more yellow usually I think

Now I've looked at that has the right feel about it, the only thing is this was the middle of the day, would the Convulvulus be out then?

Just rediscovered this rather shaky video I took of what I presume is a moth in Menorca. It was a lot bigger than the Hummingbird Hawk appearing briefly at the end.
Would love to know what it was

This was on the side of my house, quite a long way up so couldn't get a good luck with a naked eye, but also quite big for a moth I would say

Not so much a sighting as lack of.
Just struck me watching hordes of Painted ladies and Peacocks over the last few days that I don't recall seeing a single Red Admiral this year (and only one Comma) in the garden.
Is this pattern repeated elsewhere or is it just me

Saw first one of the year this afternoon in the outskirts of Lincoln.

Ringlet taken yesterday, what do you guys use to compress your file sizes? Have lost some quality compressing this to below 250k

No 2 is a Speckled Wood
