Most kind of you Dave, the pose is most definitely natural, it's what I look like when I'm going for the last biscuit in the tin. Try as I might I have not seen any female LTB's yet, this lone male with Katrina and Trevor has been the only one so far. The females are more attracted to the pea so I've been looking there as often as I can hoping to spot a female or even some eggs. It's seems like the numbers that have made it across so far have been very low. Perhaps there's still some more to come? If so some offspring might emerge before the weather turns too cold.millerd wrote:Congratulations on that LTB, James, and I like your photo. A really natural pose. This species is one I have yet to photograph.As long as a few females have come across on the hot southerly winds recently, and the weather remains reasonably kind, it is possible there might be some offspring in late October. Fingers crossed!

Ghostly Dingies.
Unusually rather than seeing Grizzled Skippers first as I normally do each spring my first Skippers of this year were of the Dingy persuasion. And it made for a nice change that a couple of these were pale forms, the first one I found was quite pale but the second was positively ghostly in appearance. I saw it under heavy cloud and even in those dull conditions it really stood out, in bright sunshine it must have been quite dazzling.
I also saw a nice Green Hairstreak on the same day just before the sun went in.
Thanks for looking
James
