Great Sooty Satyr?
Posted: Mon Jul 18, 2022 2:03 pm
Hi all
I originally had this one, taken yesterday, down as Tree Grayling, but on checking a bit more closely, it looks more like a male Great Sooty Satyr.
The only issue with that is location: the photo was taken in the Foret de Lanscome in the Brenne area of France, which would appear to be a bit north and west of their normal range. There were quite a few of them flying in a woodland clearing.
Any thoughts welcome.
Thanks, Rupert
