Hi Wurzel, I've no doubt, if you lived down this way on the south coast you would definitely be in amongst the Long-tailed Blues. This first wave of migrants was probably more difficult to see, I didn't see any in 2013.Wurzel wrote:A fabulous find, a fabulous series of shots

. My only problem is that I could be here for the next hour adding 'Mr Greens' to the post to fully express my envy

Thanks Neil, your diary has been so spectacular this year I would say that your spare holiday has been very well spent! My year has been so up and down that I've been living through your diary vicariously. I'm willing to bet that I've not been the only one either. So if you're getting the same kind of enjoyment out of my diary it's very nice to be able to pay you something back.Neil Freeman wrote:Hi James, living in the midlands and having used up all my spare holiday from work for this year now it is unlikely that I will get to see this species any time soon, even if there is a large influx/emergence. I am however glad that people like yourself get to see them and post such great reports with fantastic accompanying photos![]()
Keep it up,
Neil.
Hi Dave, I'm keeping everything crossed too. I can't get enough of these little beauties. while the 'Pea growers of the world' stand united against the Pea Blue, I say please come over here, you are most welcome.millerd wrote:Excellent LTB shots, James, and I join the others in explosions of![]()
Fingers crossed there will be some more...

I think all the previous comments cover everything I might have to say
. Just hope the weather improves in time for the british bred offspring!
Thanks David, it was a real treat seeing those I can tell you, like having a double ice cream cone with two flakes!David M wrote:Beautiful insect and a great find!
Cheers Wurzel, it will happen one day, I'd never seen one before that day, but to see two in one day was a bit special.Wurzel wrote:Great finds Rex I've never found any aberrant Adonis despite looking![]()

Cheers Neil, I've been a bit spoiled with my sightings recently, it's been great to end my season by seeing a few unusual butterflies. Anything that makes the winter feel shorter is fine by me.Neil Freeman wrote:Hi James, nice Adonis ab. and great photos of it.
Great photos of the LTB too![]()
Cheers,
Neil.
Hello Goldie, it certainly is a fun way to end the season. Needles and haystacks spring to mind when looking for LTB's.Goldie M wrote:Hi! James, I'm jealous of you lot down there![]()

your having all the fun with these unusual Butterflies, and lovely photos as well Goldie
Thank you David, She was a stunning sight, I certainly would like to see another one before it's all over. You do live in a lovely part of the world though David, that must be more than a small consolation.David M wrote:Stunning specimen! Hopefully there'll be quite a few more before the end of the month. It's at times like this that I wish I didn't reside so far west!
Thanks Trevor, it was a great day wasn't it. With all of the effort, time and research Neil puts into his butterflies I'm sure you'll agree that he really deserves what he finds out in the field.trevor wrote:HI James,
Good to see you yesterday, and the others present. I have met all of them at different times but never
all in one place. I think i can say a super day was had by all. It was one of my best experiences of
the year. As for Mr.H. he is certainly right at the top of his game.
Lovely open wing shot too.![]()
All the best.
Trevor
Well when you look that good you're bound to grab all the attention. I don't think the others would disagree if I said that we could have watched her all day, inevitably she got fed up with us and gave us the slip. It was great while it lasted though.bugboy wrote:It would seem this LTB was a very popular lady yesterday![]()
