Large Blue - Favourite Photo of 2020

Week 8

So 2020 is fast disappearing - good! The temperatures are dropping - noy so good but at least we have the Favourites thread to warm up the cockles :wink: :D

Please could I ask that everyone waits until a topic has been opened by me for a particular species before posting photos as then it will be easier to keep track of things? Of course our overseas members are very welcome to fill in the obvious gaps relating to rare UK migrants. As in previous years details of locations, dates, times and circumstances would be welcome as would any accompanying stories and anecdotes or other observations of behaviour and interesting other points.

Just a reminder - it might be a good idea to select your Overall Favourite Butterfly Photo of 2020 now so that you’ve got something to post when the series of threads culminates in 20 weeks time…


Have a goodun and stay safe

Had a memorable morning with Large Blues in 2020 - 24th June, perfect weather, a relatively deserted Daneway, and 30+ of this species:

Years of collaborative work by many people, from several statutory and conservation organisations, culminated in this special moment. Rodborough Common 6th June 2020.

Fabulous achievement, Dave. Well done to all involved.

It's a huge site so one hopes they'll readily spread out over the suitable habitat in the vicinity.

I shall look forward to seeing them at this location in future visits.
