Excellent photos Bounty. Now could you get me a Small Tortoiseshell and (my favourite) a Pearl Bordered Fritillary please?

They were certainly the loveliest things in Skeggie last weekend!

Yes, it should be re-named Chavs-by-the-sea. I stayed in the posh bit off Drummond road.

That peacock butterfly is stunning. Bounty have you ever thought of putting all your pictures together in a book or maybe a calendar.

Snapped this today at a local pond. Common Darter, beautiful in its way.

Yes, it's true, the photos are stunning - but there's no posh bit in Skeggie. The old slogan to attract people used to be "It's sooo bracing!". Well yes, you do have to brace your self.....

bounty what is a common darter? I don't like the look of it.

Sympetrum striolatum is the commonest of the darters, which are one of the families that comprise the 'dragonflies'. They do not bite or sting. The image in my photo is a close up and is about 4x life size.

Here's a fluffy butterfly to make up for it. This is a Large White photo'd yesterday.
