Photo Archive - Introduction & Index
The photo archive consists of a number of photo galleries (accessed by clicking the links on the left), each containing many higher resolution butterfly photographs, all taken by myself. The large majority of the photographs are of species which can be found in Hampshire - and indeed many were actually taken in the county. They also include photos of several species not found in the county, which were obtained during visits to neighbouring areas and in some cases further afield in UK.
The galleries are arranged into 4 groups (species galleries, special galleries, recent season highlights and current season galleries) according to the index below.
For the most recently taken photos, there is also a "Recent Photos" gallery accessed from the main menu or by clicking here.
