The last one is especially for Simpo because I know that's the kind of wildlife he likes best.:D

Hmm. Disappears for a month and then comes back with shots like these.

I reckon he spent the time cracking the security code for the National Geographic picture archive or some such prestigious publication and is treating us to the loot from within.

Very nice shots.

Got any more or was that all you had time for?

That is a big scarey insect - don't know what a skipper is but I do know i'd steer well clear if I saw one!

Funnily enough I'd do the opposite for the lesser spotted surfer chick. That's enough leering for today, move along, nothing to see here.

Thats an awesome shot i reckon, and probably the hardest to capture at a guess (i dont think they like to stay still very long!).

Great shots mate.
