That's bad news Martin - I'd call up one of the firms that specialises in retrieving data on corrupt and damaged drives.
I'm paranoid about my photos - and have them on a laptop and also on 2 separate external drives - one of which is kept in a separate (secure) location.
Hope you manage to recover the photos.

Lots to choose from this month, but I like this one best... Cleopatra (honestly!) 2007, Rhone Valley, note how the small brown marginal markings reflect similar brown tips to the leaf serrations, and the HW cell brown spot is similar to a background leaf viral spot... suppose everything has a reason!
also... comiserations to V6GTO.. we've discussed dreams... but not nightmares until now!

This is not great quality, but when this was taken, my dad just waited for the meadow brown to stop to get a shot at all. Can you see it?
Cheers all,

Grayling seems to be popular here for some reason!
This one was the only one seen at a Butterfly Conservation field trip and attracted a fair amount of interest. It was seen in flight by only a few people and late-comers could not find it, so:
"You see the small red dot...that is a red spider mite. It is on the grayling"

I'm not entering (I'm not allowed!) but wanted to point out this shot from Dennis Dell on the Upper Thames BC website:

A hibernating Purple Emperor larva in the branch of a sallow. Amazing camouflage!
