Re: Butterflies of the West Midlands
I ordered mine in November and paid £17.95 which the Nature Bureau took from me at the time. Think I might stick to Amazon in future!

Re: Sardinia
We were last in Sardinia about 5 years ago. Saw a number of Geranium Bronze then particularly in Santa Teresa on the North coast.

Re: High Brown Fritillary and Scotch Argus

Re: High Brown Fritillary and Scotch Argus
As no one has commented on the photo yet, I will step in and confirm this is a 100% High Brown Fritillary :) Vince In that case there should be plenty about by the end of next week. I thought this was the earliest date I had for High Brown's at Arnside Knott but on checking found an earlier record ...

Re: High Brown Fritillary and Scotch Argus
I visited Arnside Knott on Friday (which is technically just in Cumbria!) Plenty of Dark Green and Small Pearl Bordered Fritillaries to be seen together with one each of Grayling and a very worn Northern Brown Argus. No definite sightings of High Brown although one possible which I caught in flight....

The only Butterfly which was more plentiful was Small Heath. In the afte...

Even warmer up here today 17 degrees. Unfortunately I had to go to Liverpool today for work so no chance of looking for butterflies.

Kefolonian Skipper
I photographed this butterfly on Kefalonia in August.
I thought at the time that it was a Sage Skipper is that correct?
