Northern Brown Argus - Favourite Photo of 2023

Week 11

With the Solstice passed and the days getting longer we can start to look forward to the new season . Also by this time tomorrow St. Nick will hopefully have paid a visit we’ll have feasted and possibly perused new lepidopteran tomes that were left in our stockings. So for tomorrow- Have a Very Merry Christmas and a ridiculously butterfly filled New Year!

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.

Have a goodun

I visited my usual site near Grantown on Spey in mid June, which was recommended to me by Jack Harrison a few years back.

I wasn't disappointed.

Best photos attached.

Bert.

Always nice to see these, Bertl.

The Mountain Arguses on the continent don't even come close.....so much so I didn't bother to take any images of them this year!

Thanks David. I am already looking forward to visiting the site in 2024.
