The 2008 season
Posted: Tue Nov 13, 2007 4:55 pm
Just wondering what you guys are planning to do in 2008? For me, I want to do a few things:
Finally get a decent shot of a DG Fritillary, get more arty shots as most of the ones I got this year are more intended on getting the shot and that was it.
I want to try and see what species are found round my area, so far I have seen:
Meadow Brown, Ringlet, Speckled Wood, Orange-Tip, Holly Blue, Painted Lady, Small Tortoiseshell, Common Blue, Red Admiral, Clouded Yellow (in good years), Large White, GV White, Small White, Six-Spot Burnet moths, Silver Y Moths (in 2006 I found hundreds), Small Coppers (not many, but a few in various places)
Also planning to check out the various moth life in my area as I am so close to various forests. I have seen:
Garden Carpet, Reddish brown form of Satellite moth, Elephant Hawk and Narrow Boarderd Bee and Hummingbird Hawkmoths, White and buff ermines, silver ground carpet moths everywhere and more, just got to keep looking.
Just got to look around in the various places and see what turns up. I also want to get a good (or more) shots of a Small Heath as I only have 2 shots so far. Also looking for better shots of Common blues and more of small coppers. If summer 2008 is good, maybe I may see the clouded yellow we get that migrate. First saw in 2006, but do to weather conditions, none this year, hoping its better next year.
Well, thats me in my free time, out and about.
