BTNR 31 March 07

Was at BTNR from 11 plus to 2 plus. After a short passing showers around noon, the weather turned sunny and hot. Quite a number of butts were spotted between 1 to 2 pm. Met Richard at the Visitor Centre when I was about to leave. Shortly after I left, it was raining cats and dogs again.

1.Tagiades spp - not tall enough to shoot the upperside.

Your Branded Imperial is great!

Thanks CM
I was lucky that this BI rested at the correct place for me to have a couple of shots.

Congrats on the +1. Was there at the BTNR last Sat saw lots of Elbowed Pierrot.

Great series, Federick and congrats on your +1.
