Re: Gary.N
Thanks for the update, Gary. Things look positive for the period a few weeks down the line. If only we could have the same confidence for the next week or so!!

Re: Gary.N
It's looking like another cold and wet weekend ahead. And I am itching to get out and see some sunshine. So tonight I looked through some of my photos from 2012 to remind me of what spring and summer is and then thought I would share them here.

Re: Gary.N
I love your 4 up Chalkhills, and the reminder of what's to come too.
I imagine your beauties are getting ready to pupate.
Trevor.

Re: Gary.N
Thanks Guys, the Chalkhills were take the year when there were an estimated 900,000 Chalkhills on the Gallops. You just kept tripping over the things. It is a sight I will always remember. Here is a photo of just a random area of grass on the Gallops at the time. Try counting them.
I had a walk down Abbot's today to see if I could find some PBF/SPBF cats, but didn't find any. But the weather tried to play nice. I kept getting odd break in the cloud, enough that I even lost count of the Brimstone's, Comma's and Peacock's I saw. Spring coming, but just very slowly.
Trevor, the Pearls are about a week away from pupating. It is going to be a late season for the pearls.I had a walk down Abbot's today to see if I could find some PBF/SPBF cats, but didn't find any.

Re: Gary.N

Re: Gary.N
Thank you Andrew. It's nice to also find a place to share them and with people that appreciate them, instead of them being on a harddrive just forgotten.
So here are some more hidden gems this time from 2014.

Re: Gary.N
Thankyou Goldie. I am happy you are enjoying them. Spring and summer always brings new hope and butterflies.
There is some more while we all dream of spring and summer. This time from 2015.

Re: Gary.N
Some absolutely cracking shots Gary I wouldn't even know where to begin commenting on them as I was looking through and would see one stunner, then I'd scroll down and there would be another stunner and so on and so on... The only thing I would criticize about your recent postings is that they are making the wait even more unbearable

Re: Gary.N
Breathless stuff, Gary! Many thanks for posting these sequences.
If I have a favourite then it would be the mating pair of White Letter Hairstreaks - not something you ever expect to see.

Re: Gary.N
Thanks Wurzel,
Thanks David,
The day with the WLH's and James will be one I will remember. They just kept coming down from the trees. The wind was strong, but somehow we both got some great photos from that day. The mating pair was the icing on the top at the end of an already excellent day.
Wurzel, if the last lots was making it unbearable then don't look any further. I posted some of the ones from 2016 I didn't get time to post at the time. They may just push you over the edge.
