    Dragonfly, Sri Lanka

    Seen at the end of February in Sinharaja, Sri Lanka. I think it must be either: 1. Gomphidia pearsoni (Rivulet Tiger) 2. Ictinogomphus rapax (Common Clubtail/Rapacious Flangetail) The eye colour - dark grey - seems to suggest (2) but I'd appreciate a confirmation.

    Butterflies from Poland - for confirmation

    These two were from north-east Poland last week. The first is likely to be Large Tortoiseshell but I'm not sure that Yellow-legged can be ruled out, at this location. The second is a female Sooty Copper I think. Any comments welcome.

    Ani - Yucatan, Mexico

    As I understand it Groove-billed Ani is fairly common in the Yucatan, but Smooth-billed is not. So I'm not sure if this is Smooth-billed or an immature Groove-billed? Seen near Rio Lagartos in the northern Yucatan in late November this year.

    ID - Flying Hawk - Yucatan, Mexico

    From the Sian Ka'an reserve in late November this year. Impression was that it was smaller than Roadside Hawk but it wasn't in view for long so I could be wrong about the size. The first image is the original shot, the 2nd is the same but with the brightness boosted right up.
