Amazingly a Camberwell Beauty Butterfly flew into my garden strongly from the east at 17:45 this afternoon, circled around a few times and continued flying westwards. Apologies for posting a Butterfly sighting in this section but as not many people view the Butterfly Sightings page I have posted it here in the hope that more people will read my post and more eyes will be on the lookout for more of this fabulous Butterfly. |

Superb sighting! Thanks for posting that - I would have missed it on the butterflies page. Perhaps there's a case for sightings of birds, butterflies, bats etc all to share a single page. |

If it ain't broke don't fix it, Jim. It doesn't take a matter of seconds to look down all the different forum pages to see new topic additions. I do it most days. Yours stuck in his ways James |

Seen again in my garden at half past eight this morning on Buddlia by Monica and briefly by myself in flight. No chance for a photo as yet. Proving to be very elusive as lots of Buddlia in gardens around mine!! It is a very fast flyer! |

Having been born (  ) in Camberwell - Kings College Hospital - I feel this is a species it is my duty to see.Edmund, please send it north up the county coast - and, once again, heartiest congratulations on detecting/ reporting it.  (Point taken, James - I will be more thorough in future.) |

It would be interesting also to be informed of out-of-county sightings, would it not? Sadly the restriction that makes it difficult for non-club members to post messages makes it unlikely that such information will become available - at least on this website. Does no one else in the club believe in the principle of free exchange of knowledge?

Sorry, Andy, and everyone else - the opportunity came up, and I couldn't stop myself. In the event of continuing lack of support from members, I'll need to come up with a subtler strategy.
