"I'm delighted to announce that Guy Padfield is the recipient of this year's UK Butterflies Outstanding Contribution Award. Guy was presented with his award in his adopted country of Switzerland by last year's winners, Gary and Lisa Richardson. Guy received a copy of "Ecology of Butterflies in Europe" in recognition of the specific contribution Guy has made in fostering an interest in European butterflies through both UK Butterflies and his superb personal website at http://www.guypadfield.com - Pete Eeles".
I really can't thank Guy enough for his contribution over the years, especially with regard to the help he has given many of us in identifying European butterflies. It's been a real pleasure to spend some quality time with Guy this week in Switzerland (report to follow!) - and buy him the many beers I owe him
