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.

The image certainly qualifies for the newspaper Beryl but I think the editor is your brother......I know, you're going to tell me you don't have a brother.

I did a little searching and it is in the 'insects gallery' posted 20 July 2007. Its a very good image of the Burnet and certainly qualified to your credit in the said newspaper......Well done again Beryl.

Pete.

Thanks Pet. I captured a Cinnabar Moth (very similar same family ) which reminded me of it and decided that it was a good candidate for the press.
