I saw a 'Large' the other day Beryl, I suppose you see these too.

Haven't seen a large this year , yet. This one I nearly missed it was so tiny. It nearly as small as the hairstreak 2.6-3 cm I think they are and the green hairtreak is 2.5-3 cm

I do quite a lot of 'upland' birding Beryl and the Green Hairstreak has also been hard to find this year. I suppose I sound a little gloomy at times but I defend myself by claiming 'realistic' not 'gloomy'.

I haven't seen a Hairstreak since the one I put in the forum and I captured that the summer before last. Haven't seen a Brimstone Moth either since last year they are as small and day flying. Bright yellow and you have to see it land and not take your eyes off it to take a photo

Merlin Regular Member Info Real name: Pete Location: N W England Gallery: 6 Equipment: Nothing but my notebook which is one of the most important parts of birding. To go out without it (which I only ever did once) is like going out without your pants on. I've never understood why I responded to the 'Cameras and Equipment' question in this way because in reality I own a Leica Telescope with eyepieces, Zeiss Binoculars, and a Manfrotto Tripod all of which cost a positive fortune.
