Hi Pete

I just wanted to say that i am a newbie to your site so i cant really make much of a contibution just yet. However, whilst it is good to be constructively critical and strive for improvements, i wanted to say that i am (as a new user) very impressed with what ive seen so far. Ive had some very interesting chats via this sites forum pages and learnt a lot already - its reinspired my love for butterfly photgraphy - i know this becasue since i subscribed a few days ago, ive dusted off a number of books, been out and about looking for butterflies, ordered some Pentax papilio binoculars and a book on britains wildflowers etc, Im savinf for the much needed Macro lens and I've had comments from my wife on am I having a midlife crisis now (I thruned 40 in May). I know its not a midlife crisis or Id be taking up golf instead ;-). Instead, my reinspiration came about after a combination meeting Sir David Attenborough in February at the Natural history Museum, my 9 year olds own enthusiasm plus stumbling across this site whilst trying to find out about Purple Emporer locations! keep up the good work. Thank you! Mark.

It may be a bit late now, but just to add, can you consider the accessability of using a screen reader on your site. For example when you are saying where the sites are, have them labled on a picture by all means, but maybe discribe it in words too. Screen readers cant read Java either :(
Thanks :D
