Re: Happy New Year!
A happy new year to you, Neil, and to all UK Butterfliers. If the last two years are anything to go by we are in for a few surprises in 2015 so my new year wish for all of you is that you find yourself in the right place at the right time (with your camera)!

Re: Happy New Year!
And a Happy New Year from me too! I have 71 things I want to see in 2015 (the large number is due to subspecies, but mostly immature stages), and have mapped out my year already
Right now I should, apparently, be looking for Essex Skipper eggs ... but will probably wait to see a female lay later in the year ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

Re: Happy New Year!
And a very Happy New Year to all from me also ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
I have had a relatively quiet 2014, spending a lot of time surveying for the Sussex Butterfly Atlas, but that project enters a new phase tomorrow, so I can now start planning some trips for the coming year. Looking forward to seeing all those reports and photos coming in from members and wondering what the story of 2015 will be.

Re: Happy New Year!
Big question for the New Year. Have Scarce Tortoiseshells hibernated in sufficient numbers to colonise?
Assuming they have, then I make a New Year's resolution: The Small Tortoiseshell henceforth to be called the Common Tortoiseshell

Until it becomes so common, that the Scarce Tortoiseshell outnumbers the Common TortoiseshellJack Harrison wrote:Big question for the New Year. Have Scarce Tortoiseshells hibernated in sufficient numbers to colonise?

Happy New Year to one and all.
Given that my first butterfly of 2014 was on 24th February, one hopes we haven't long to wait...

Re: Happy New Year!
Despite the ominous weather forecasts last week we only saw a thin dusting of snow around here but there have been some cold and frosty mornings which have made the garden look quite attractive.
Here's to everyone seeing what they want to see in 2015,
Cheers,
Neil.
