Do you mind telling where exactly did you find them? The species is a migrant so it probably won't matter, but still it might be nice to check the place if I happen to go there again. Besides, I'm still missing a picture of live specimen.
I saw a few and am surprised no-one has reported any before. Perhaps it was their first year on the island.
The picture on my other submission to this site earlier in the week was taken in a park near the casino in Funchal, the Parque de Santa Caterina (excuse the spelling, if it's wrong) and I took the photos on this topic in the Jardin de Sao Francisco at the end of town nearest to the Parque de Santa Caterina.
I was wondering if the first picture was of a Long-tailed Blue. If it's not then I'm not sure I saw one but instead saw several Lang's, a strange situation considering the Long-tailed is the accepted resident of the two on Madeira.
Thanks for everyone's help yet again
Regards, Paul.
