BC Herts & Middx Branch Spring Meeting

[Roger Gibbons]

The Hertfordshire & Middlesex Branch of Butterfly Conservation Spring Meeting will be held on Saturday 15 March. There are three presentations, one from me on the Butterflies of Southern France (with 80 images, a good number of which are of butterflies that are rarities in the UK), one by Andrew Middleton on UK Hairstreaks, and one by Andrew Wood on the Moths of Hertfordshire.

All are welcome, BC members and non-members alike, and entry is free.

Hi Martin,

It was nice to meet you, too, and (like Saturday before last at Pete's excellent workshop) put faces to names. Sorry you couldn't make it, Mike.

The next presentation on UK hairstreaks by Andrew Middleton was very good, with some terrific video footage of each species.

Some friends of ours have just bought a holiday home in southern Spain and are looking to advertise it for letting next year. I suggested that a few photos of local butterflies on their website would increase its appeal and - guess what - they asked me if I could come down for a few days next spring and take some photos. I'm trying not to feel guilty.

Roger
