    Butterflies in highland

    According to the 'Atlas of Butterflies in Highland and Moray', Green Hairstreak are most often seen in the central Spey Valley, so anywhere near Aviemore with a decent amount of Blaeberry and Gorse should be good Pearl-Bordered Fritillary has quite a local distribution, and is declining, so...

    Lowepro Field Station

    Take a look at the Country Innovation Field Pouch -I suspect it's a little bit smaller, but it'll carry bins, field guide and a few other bits and pieces with no problems. I have one, and I tend to use it when out looking for moths and butterflies. It easily carries my folding net, all the...

    Which E Reader is the best for storing my Bird,Butterfly and Dragonfly Books on.

    If you're wanting colour, then realistically, you're going to want a Tablet, rather than an E-reader. Currently, the latest iPad has the sharpest screen for reading, viewing pictures, etc.

    Craghoppers Kiwi winter lined trousers

    That's patently untrue. Blacks (or whoever they are now), Cotswold and Tiso are all significantly more expensive than Go Outdoors when it comes to outdoor clothing. In saying that, It's always better to hunt around to find the best prices before buying. (in the case of footwear, though -...

    Poplar Hawkmoth Caterpillars....

    I'll take some of those eggs off you, if you've got them going spare! ;-)

    Halfords Power Pack 200

    It's not too shabby. You don't get as many moths as you would with an MV trap, but it certainly has its moments. I also find that actinic lights can attract some different moths - ones which MV traps don't.

    Halfords Power Pack 200

    I use one of them. They're heavier than they look, to warn you. When using the inverter, I get about 6-7 hours continuous use powering a 22w actinic setup. If you can use a 12v setup, and avoid using the inverter, it'll last longer, since it won't have to power the inverter. It's not a good...

    Drinker? Admittedly, that's a guess.

    April Moths

    Lucky for some... I had absolutely nothing in the trap last night. Gutted :-(

    Tayforth Birding

    Agreed - I almost always manage to get Spotted Flycatcher there, as well as all the usual suspects. It's a nice walk, too.

    Unknown caterpillar - UK

    I'd guess Garden Tiger with this one, but it's not the best angle for the photo, to be honest.

    Scottish Moth ID, please.

    Well done, Stonefaction! A good record! :-) Methinks i'm now gonna have to make the trip to the Morton Lochs with my moth trap! :-)

    Scottish Moth ID, please.

    Interesting - looks like Sword-grass for me, too. What is interesting, is that apparently the only sword-grass records for Fife are old ones from the Isle of May, so that could be an exceptionally good record! There are quite a lot of Dark Sword-grass out early this year, so potentially it's...

    Tayforth Birding

    We had at least 3 calling Willow Warbler at Cullaloe today, and our swans are on nest just now, too. In non-birding news, My first Orange-Tip butterfly for the year at Cullaloe, too!
