Re: Decent Compact

Hi Mike,

Please advise on which TZ70 you are recommending....12.1MP or 18.1MP thanks.
I am considering purchasing one of these cameras too based on your recommendation.
All the best,

Re: Chequered Skippers - Roybridge

Try Glen Loy! They were late emerging this year. Look along or near the river bank 3 miles along no through road. Happy hunting!

Re: Pearl-bordered Fritillary - Favourite Photo 2014

Saw this "April Fritillary" on 19th April on closed section of coastpath near the Monkey Sanctuary, Looe, Cornwall. The Pearl-bordered Fritillary is sadly now one of Cornwall's rarest butterflies. Cheers....Lee Slaughter (Par, Cornwall).
