Right then chaps, I know the season is still in full swing and I rather let the side down last year but who is for a meet up this winter? Same place as usual, last Saturday in November? Any takers?
I guess that means 28th November at the 'Old Forge', Otterbourne.
I'm hoping to make it, this year

The wonder of the world, the beauty and the power, the shapes of things, their colours lights and shades, these I saw. Look ye also while life lasts.
Re: Winter Get-together 2015
Well originally I said I couldn't make but having looked on google maps it seems it's not as far as I thought it was. That combined with bumping into Susie at Denbies this afternoon and getting a lift back to Box Hill station (saving me an hours walk) means I definately owe her at least one drink so it seems I'll be there !
Some addictions are good for the soul!

Re: Winter Get-together 2015
Thank you Mike for starting the thread.
Yes Saturday 28 November 2015 1pm - 5pm.

Hello everyone, above is the link to the pub. As always it is a very informal event. We meet approximately between 1pm and 5pm and people are welcome to pop in as and when they want.You can eat in the restaurant or there is also bar food (if the kitchen is working!) but I won't be booking any tables before hand. It has always been a lovely few hours meeting up with likeminded people.
So please just turn up on the day if you can. You don't have to list your interest here although it is nice to see who is coming along. Thank you to everyone who has already said they can make it. At some point I'll put together a list.
Buggy, I am glad you introduced yourself and it was my pleasure to help.

A shame that I'll miss this again, but I'm following the Long-tailed Blue down to The Canaries.

Will technology ever reach the point where radio trackers can be fitted to butterflies as is done with [admittedly larger] birds?

You make it sound as if you have fitted an individual butterfly with a tracker....following the Long-tailed Blue down to The Canaries.

Re: Winter Get-together 2015
Hi Jack,
Good hunting.
Kind regards. Mark
Using micro-transmitters, it's already being done with bees and dragonflies so I see no reason why it couldn't be done successfully with the larger lepidoptera. You may find this technology is already being used with species such as Monarch and Swallowtail.Jack Harrison wrote:Will technology ever reach the point where radio trackers can be fitted to butterflies as is done with [admittedly larger] birds?

Re: Winter Get-together 2015
Sadly,i'm going to have to pull out. We have a conservation day for Essex heath fritillaries on Sunday. I can only get one day of the weekend off work and,as the fritillaries crashed at most of their Essex sites this year,due to lack of management,this unfortunately will have to take priority.
I hope you all have a very good day,be nice to see a picture or two!
Cheers, Mark.

Re: Winter Get-together 2015
That's a real shame, Mark. However, I can see where your priorities are!
We'll raise a glass or two to you and the Essex Heath Fritillaries, never fear.
