Lovely image of a Rare species or should I say only found in a small part of the UK

Thanks for sharing :smile:

not a species I've ever seen John. It's nice to see this 'fresh' specimen with its wings still drying out.

Looks good to me John :toast:

I suppose I should moan about the tips of the wings not being in focus and the background not being a perfect muted even colour :biggrin:


But I wont its nice to see a rare ( for me ) one :toast: :toast:

Very good indeed, but no marks for the capital V in vulgatissimus. :smile: :wink:

Thanks.
There was no way I was going to attempt to move this one. Not a good idea when they're drying out and it was the only one I found so its a case of taking what you can whilst you can :smile:
David - you never mentioned the lack of Italics either :wink:
