This month has been a bit more successful than October, though I have still made some visits to sites in the Sydney area that were so disappointing as to not be worth mentioning. The trips described below were the better ones… 04/11/2020 : Bell My second visit to Bell this season came 3 weeks after …
It’s been a while since my last update, and that’s because there hasn’t been all that much to report. I’ve been out to a number of butterfly sites around Sydney this Spring, but there haven’t been many butterflies to see. I’ve had days where I walked for 6 or 7 hours and got no photos …
New species and subspecies. It’s been a long time since I updated this website, largely because the COVID-19 lockdowns prevented me from getting out at all during the autumn. Things are a lot less restricted now in NSW, but it’s winter so there isn’t much on the wing. Whilst I haven’t been out butterflying, I …

It’s been a long time since I updated my blog, and that’s because there hasn’t really been all that much going on. It’s not been a good butterfly season so far in the Sydney area. As everyone in the world knows (except for one guy living in an underground bunker 50 miles outside Des Moines …

In June 2019 my wife and I spent around 8 days at West Kelowna in British Columbia, Canada. It was just a short trip to attend a family wedding (which was great by the way), but I took my camera along just in case I got any opportunities to go butterhiking. Naturally family events took …

Since I returned from Mexico I have been out Butterhiking 3 times, without getting round to loading any of the images to my website. Having revamped the site I’ve now processed the backlog, so I’m now completely up to date. It must be time to get out with my camera again, before the season finishes …
