For a second I thought you meant "the law of diminishing returns there Trevor" but not to worry I always take a small camera around with me in case I see something unexpected. I just won't be taking my big camera out. To be honest after years of taking photos of old and faded specimens most of which end up in the bin to save on space, this time of year usually provides slim pickings unless we see a third brood of something.trevor wrote:The act of hanging up your camera for what remains of this season, might allow a certain law to kick in.
Especially if you go for a walk over at Tidemills sans camera !.
Hope you will visit the old railway next Spring
Best wishes,
Trevor.
Thank you Wurzel, it's nice to be back, at last it's nice to have a bit more time to post. Being behind is not so bad, it extends the memory of summer for a while longer. I still hope to meet you one fine day let me know if you're ever head over this way.Wurzel wrote:Great shots and great to see your diary kicking off again- and not just because it's nice to see someone even further behind than me

Most kind of you David, I've missed chatting to you all.David M wrote:Good to see you back, James.
It's great to hear from you buggy, thanks for the kind words. I must say your diary has been great this year. I've really enjoyed reading about all of your adventures Wonderfully illustrated with your photos. I'm looking forward to seeing what you get up to next year.bugboy wrote:Yes good to see you back posting lovely imagies. Orange-tip pictures at this time of year...making me yearn for spring all over again!
Hello Dave, unfortunately I didn't do too well this year so I only have enough posts to see me roughly until mid November - if I post one a week that is. I'm usually a bit of a loner when I'm out butterflying but this year I spent more time in the company of some great friends. That made for some great times even though I under performed a bit this year.millerd wrote:Good to see you back, James. Posting six months adrift should see us all nicely through the winter months!I suppose we are roughly half way round to the first of 2017's Orange Tips...
Looking forward to some more photos!

Keep trying buggy, it's all you can do with LTB's. If we get another big influx of them one year it would make things easier for you. Unfortunately I don't think that's going to happen this year. When it does happen again I'll try my best to help you out. I do have the advantage of living on the coast so I can let you know what's going on in the area.bugboy wrote:Typical, I chose to go to Eastbourne today!![]()

Yes Trevor it was fortuitous, serendipitous even! Of course it couldn't have happened to 3 nicer more good looking, intelligent, talented, and dare I say humble people than us. I'm afraid I'm all out of boobies right now so I'll just say top effort all round.trevor wrote:HI James,
Good to see you and Katrina today, I think all three of us enjoyed ourselves.
You win first prize for the best image of the LTB, at least it is readily identifiable .
That leaves my effort and Katrina's vying for the booby prize. I will allow you to adjudicate.
Keep well,
Trevor.
Thanks Goldie, the next time we get a good summer with some southerly winds coupled with a few 'Spanish plumes' it might be prudent to book a little holiday to the South coast around early September or early October. And if it didn't work out at least there are some very nice places to visit down here. It would certainly be less drastic than moving down this way.Goldie M wrote:Fantastic James, when it gets to September I always wish I lived in the SouthGoldie
To be honest LTB hadn't even really crossed my mind when I made my plans. I shall be keeping a close eye on developments in the coming days/weeks to see if a venture down to tide mills is worthwhile for me!Butterflysaurus rex wrote:Keep trying buggy, it's all you can do with LTB's.

Yes you can't really plan for LTB's there's far too much luck involved for that. I think your approach is best, it's exactly what I would do. When you have to travel a fair distance it's good if there's at least a reasonable chance of success. I don't know if I will be able to go out looking very much but hopefully more LTB's will be seen and reported, in the unlikely event you're not doing it already I recommend keeping an eye on the Sussex BC sightings page.bugboy wrote:To be honest LTB hadn't even really crossed my mind when I made my plans.
