Re: Also seeking lighter camera option
Thanks all for your replies. The two images put up by Andy have convinced me it's the right camera to buy. They are just what I needed to see. Medard's images are impressive but we are solidly a Canon house with a plethora of lenses. Going Sony will be a sort of neutral step :) . I'd never heard of ...

Also seeking lighter camera option
I'm in the same istuation as overthepass in that I'm finding a Canon 7D plus 100 - 400mm lens a bit heavy to lug around all day. I'm looking at the Sony RX10 IV. This will enable me to do bird photography as its zoom lens is equivalent to 600mm at the long end. Maybe I'm asking too much of the camer...

Re: September 2018
Thank you David. It's back today with a friend! Taking a lot of interest in one another but no action so probably two males. Also Comma, Holly Blue and 3 Small Whites.

Re: September 2018
Very pleased to see a Small Copper in the garden this afternoon along with a Holly Blue and 2 Small Whites. It's two years since we have had a Small Copper here. We used to get all three generations.

Yet another blue from Spain
Actually, this is one of Pat's.
I thought it might be another nivescens but seeing the sliver of blue at the bottom edge of the hindwing I'm inclined to go for dorylas.
Anyone agree?

Spanish Blues (more from Robin)
Hi, I suspect that most of the Chalkhills we saw were coridon but I'm not so sure about these two. They were distinctly greyer and duller that the rest and so I wonder could they be hispana ? -- Chalkhill Blue (Rivert, Spain 24-06-10) - RT-3195.jpg -- Chalkhill Blue (Col del Montellbar, Spain 22-06-...

Re: Spanish Fritillaries for ID from Pete
Please forgive my ignorance. I had this identified as a Spanish Fritillary desfontainii based on the chevron in s3: Spanish Fritillary (Mountains above Lessui, Spain 23-06-10) - RT-3159.jpg It looks quite convincing to me. If I'm wrong then i'll rename it. If I'm correct then why aren't Pete's aurin...

Spanish Blues Part 1(sounds like a song)
Another lot from Spain that I'm needing help with. These first two are the same butterfly. Despite the evident lack of a tail I think this might be a Provencal Short-tailed blue: 1: -- Blue (Mountains above Lessui, Spain 23-06-10) - RT-3100.jpg 2: -- Blue (Mountains above Lessui, Spain 23-06-10) - R...
