Post by Lee Hurrell »

Hi all

I'm back from the Alps and I have a lot of ID requests. Here's the first one...

I'm on the train and have nothing else to do for at least another two hours - so keep them coming!

Many thanks Guy, I'll try and get some more up but it's going to take far longer than that to do them all!

Cheers

Some more...

Sorry for these poor photos but do any of these say Manni? There are 2 individuals here although I think 1, 2 and 4 are of the same one.

I can't decide about these 2 and those weird pale marks don't help!

Hi Mark,

Likewise, nice to meet you too. I forgot to mention in my diary what a nice bunch of people the Sussex members were - I'll put that right straight away.

Thanks for Honey Buzzard ID. Never knowingly seen one and that's the second in a few weeks! (The other was in Sussex).

Cheers
