Large Heath - Favourite Photo of 2011

[Vince Massimo]

This is a thread in which to post your favourite photo(s) of a particular species taken in 2011................or the last time you saw one!

This is part of a series which will hopefully grow throughout the winter until all 58 British species have been covered. Three new threads will be introduced per week. Our overseas friends are welcome to fill in the obvious gaps relating to our rare migrants, but please try to observe the alphabetical listing

Details of places, dates, times and circumstances would be appreciated and please feel free to contribute observations of behaviour, personal encounters, anecdotes and other interesting points.

Cheers,

Vince

This photo was taken at Meathop Moss on an overcast July 11th. Stupidly I visited the site wearing ordinary shoes so I couldn't stray far from the board walk without getting wet feet!

Best I could do on the day, nothing wanted to pose for a decent shot. Taken at Meathop Moss.

Mine was very busy nectering on white clover & allowed camera very close. Taken at Crowle moor, I like the little insect on the clover as well
