The weather for the past 2 days was much better than earlier days', and I managed to get more butts sightings in both Ubin and CCA. Here are some of the better shots taken.
ID assistance for the skipper in pic #3 would be greatly appreciated.

I would be guessing Telicota besta bina for #3
Thanks, Michael for your ID suggestion.Quote:

The Spotted Black Crow has rather large spots. These fellas are quite variable. :thinking:
I only encountered one Dwarf Crow that day at the Butterfly Hill for my +1. :)Quote:

I find the grey sailors n the royal assyrian very interesting. Abt the R.A, was it found in CCA?
You should be able to find them along MacRitchie trail along the main jogging route.Quote:
