43. Meadow Brown (Maniola jurtina)

Two more lovely butterflies there Marian. My favourite is the Marbled White I think. They're just so smart.

Hi Marian

I had to catch up this fantastic thread for 2011. The blues are my favourites here - beautiful

Fabulous photos of fabulous Spanish Butterflies

Need to post my own photos from Menorca from our trip in may this year

Do that asap, and i would love your opinion into what they are - there are not many of any species in Spain as we know, so I am sure they are not such a nightmare to ID, as there are not so many speces to ID.

Regards

Hola amiga Marian. You've added some real beauties since my last visit. I believe you get a greater variety of butterflies in Spain than we do here in Virginia. I hope at least one of the butterfllies I've shot in the last few days is post-worthy (I took a few days off and have visited wonderful new places). I also hope your work schedule settles down soon so you can have more time for fun.

Hi Marian,

This is a brilliant idea, I only wish I had seen it at the beginning of the season. I will now make sure I find some time later to have a read through from start to finish.

I hope you are well and please give my best wishes to MissLumixPix

Popped in for my monthly visit, and delighted to see so many new additions, Marian. There are some real beauties there; the Turquoise Blue and the Marbled White are particularly stunning. Thanks for sharing.

 

[Andy Hurley]

Hi Marian,
even more beautiful butterflies for us to enjoy
Thankyou so much

Andy

Fabulous photos Marian

Love them, and the blues are stunningm and it has educated me all over again about the different species we have on our doorsteps

OH and I only see the May 'bout of butterflies in Menorca so we will be seeing the same species each year. We want to visit for some birding in Spain later in the year (if not this year - next year) - close to where we usually stay - so we will be seeing different wildlife. We have made a point in doing that :t:

Will let you know of our plans, and in the meantime keep those superb photos coming our way.

Regards
Kathy

I'm just back from 2 weeks in Villaviciosa, not far from where you live. It's a lovely part of the world though rain on 12 days out of 15 was a bit of a shock. So it was not great butterfly weather. What really impressed me though was the sheer numbers of butterflies everywhere when the sun came out. Walks along tracks by fields or in the woods would produce clouds of meadow browns, gatekeepers, speckled woods, marbled whites, wood whites, cleopatra etc.

I found the small blues quite tricky to identify and would have needed to carry a camers to clinch the identity for a number of them. We tried to go to the mountains a few times but got bathed in mist each time so I missed the high altitude species. We did not go to Fuente De. A French couple that were staying beside us went and were faced with a 2 hours+ queue on a not particularly good day so we decided not to make the long journey. The only new butterfly I saw was a rather worn great banded grayling.

The real highlight of the trip was seeing the wallcreepers at Cuevas Huertas with juvenile.

You're lucky to live in such a nice part of the world and I'd love to go back maybe late May/early June sometime
