Very nice, I always enjoy going there.

The Baron sp? is Dolpha evelina (Red-Spot Duke)

Just one correction I am sure about, your Orange Albatross is actually Cepora nadina (Lesser Gull).

As this is from a Butterfly Garden, I am not able to state which ssp. it is, as I do not know where the original stock came from.

My last visit to PBF was in Dec 2005. After it was upgraded and re-opened recently, it has many more species now.

Nice shots. Looks like PBF was adding quite a lot of species to be in time for their big anniversary celebrations...

Fed, that is no Crow. That's the Great Blue Mime (Chilasa paradoxa aenigma) which was on the original Singapore checklist, but is now extinct in Singapore.

Khew, thanks for the id - no wonder I could not find a good match.
