    Some Blues

    So is the consensus now that it is an Adonis rather than a Chalkhill?

    Final two blues

    I'm still confused as to whether the second butterfly is a Brown Argus or a female Common Blue. Any conclusions?

    Some Blues

    Many thanks Dave. I know that the undersides of the Blues are difficult, about the only one I can do with confidence is the Holly Blue! As for whether it is Adonis or Chalkhill, hopefully some others will wade in to show their expertise.

    Some Blues

    Sorry to have provoked such discourse. I was simply wanting some help with IDs. I would still appreciate some help or even suggestions as to IDs on my other posts with regard to Blues photographed on Martin Down.

    And some Browns

    These browns were also all taken at Martin Down in Hampshire, UK in late August. Some positive Ids would be very welcome.

    Some Blues

    Hi I have terrible trouble with ID'ing butterflies despite browsing numerous guides, especially blues and browns. These blues were all taken at Martin Down in Hampshire, UK in late August. Some positive Ids would be very welcome.

    Norfolk Butterflies and Moths

    Painted Ladies are certainly out in abundance. Just saw four in my garden in Seething, together with a Red Admiral and a Small Tortoiseshell. Never seen a single Painted Lady in the garden before, having lived here now for 8 years. Indeed, even when I have seen them on reserves, I have rarely...

    I realise that these aren't easy to tell apart, but does anyone have any idea about how to distinguish an Indian Nightjar from a Savannah Nightjar?

    Nightjars

    Can anyone help ID these three nightjars, photographed last March in the Gir Forest in Gujarat in India. At the time, our guide told us that they were Indian and Savannah, but I'm unclear as to which are which. Many thanks.

    Harrier

    Yep, the 3rd image belongs with the other set. I'm unclear, however, as to why the bird in the first two images is a Montagu's rather than a Pallid, let alone as to why it is a female. Could you - or indeed anyone - elaborate.

    More Harriers

    Again from the Little Rann last March.

    Harrier

    Whitethroat

    This is another bird photographed at the same time as my other post. It looks a little different, but is probably the same species.

    Whitethroat

    I attach some photos taken yesterday in my back garden in Norfolk, UK. I am reasonably sure that the bird is a Whitethroat, but would like some help in deciding whether it is a Common or Lesser.

    Norfolk Butterflies and Moths

    Green hairstreak Does anyone know any reliable sites for Green Hairstreaks? Preferably in the Norwich area, but wider Norfolk would be OK. Have tried Mousehold with no success.

    Unknown large snake

    Hi Can anyone ID this large snake photographed earlier this month in Gujarat, India. It obviously sensed my presence and dived into nearby vegetation, where I had no intention of following! Hence no picture of the head.
