Hi,

I have not been around for a while due to work and the lack of time.

However I am off to Switzerland this weekend for two weeks and hope to get some nice pictures for my return.

Regards Andy

Whereabouts are you going to be in Switzerland, Andy?

Guy

Hi, we will be in and around Interlaken.

Cheers Andy

Ah - that's a little off my local patch, so I can't be of direct help. I live in Gryon and get out along the Rhône Valley a lot, as well as the occasional trip to the Gstaad region, but I've never gone that extra mile out to Interlaken.

If you haven't found it already, there's a good guide to the distribution of Swiss fauna, which includes detailed maps of every species of butterfly, at http://lepus.unine.ch/carto/. Go in via the Public Access, then choose Rhopalocera, then navigate to any species you want.

I look forward to your piccies when you get back! You will have a fantastic time.

Guy

Ah Gryon! The TMB route passes almost by your doorstep.

I have one small area on that route, which might be worth checking, if you haven't already. Then again, there probably isn't anything special by your standards.

Many thanks.

I am getting excited about the trip as I have never been to Switzerland.

Everyone who has been has nothing but praise for the high standards and the beauty of the countryside.

Well lets hope I can get some good shots with the 30 D, 100 mm Macro, 25 mm extension tube or even the beast lens the 400 mm .

Cheers Andy

So where are these piccies, Andrew??

I'm looking forward to seeing what you found up Interlaken way...
