I used to use kitchen forks or spoons. Forks were better as you could "lock" into the spokes.....had broken my cheap, plastic tyre levers

You and your dog! Minnie's adventures always give me a smile.There must be several hundred people by now who have treasured shots from the day they saw a happy dog sailing down a hill with the wind in her ears.
I wish I could say the same - excellent pictures Guy - one day! It's interesting what you say about Glandon Blues (and Cranberry), they're both species that I never encountered in the French Alps despite lots of searching, but found with very little effort in Zermatt. Scarce Copper was nowhere to be seen on my two week walk, and then I saw 50 on my first stroll out of the door there. The distribution of a lot of butterflies in the Alps sometimes seems a tad random - perhaps the high altitudes provide an obstacle for dispersal of low altitude species, preventing a more uniform pattern - certainly very striking!Padfield wrote:Though I say it myself, I'm getting very good at finding this last butterfly. It's a question of getting into the mindset of the males - I know exactly the kinds of places they like to show off in.
