Re: David M

Re: Goldie M
Hi! Wurzel and David, I've only seen a few Whites Wurzel and they were all in a hurry :D Luckily this one stopped, I've been to Monkton NR and plan to go there again with it being sheltered and in a quarry it could be okay for Green Hair Streak, fingers crossed, I've missed them for a couple of year...

Re: Overall Favourite Butterfly Photo of 2023
When it comes to picking favourites I'm always stuck I didn't get too many shots of different species last year but I quite like the one of a Gate Keeper in my Garden and the fact the yellow of the bloom looks nice and colour full and looks good with the Butterfly Goldie
