Narborough Bog Pics 1 of 2 - Macros

Ruby Tiger

Buff Ermine

Phoenix - couldn't resist a shot of a smart fresh one

Small Angle Shades

Footmen

Fen Wainscot

Smoky Wainscot

Blurry revving Southern and Smoky Wainscots
Note the lighter, cleaner appearance of Southern and the more pointed apex to the forewing. The 'headband' of Southern is also just about visible.

Southern Wainscot - if you're really not sure, look at the underside of the wings
No Southern Wainscots were harmed in the production of this blog post!

I've still got a garden list from 11/07 to catch up on Ben, but it's been lights out since then with the work trip away and rainy skies here tonight. Maybe tomorrow ...
