Postcard from the field from tour leader David Moore:
Our Butterflies of North Greece group enjoyed a fabulous day of montane butterflies y'day, with highlights being Yellow-banded Skipper & Blue Argus, followed by a most enjoyable evening meal, joined by our local friend Nikos.
🦆 Global Birdfair is exactly that!

I searched everywhere for a Bee orchid at Green Down with no joy, & then stumbled across lots of them at Hardington Moor NNR 😃 @BSBIbotany@wildflower_hour

With another place reserved, our Autumn Exotica in Andalusia tour this coming September now has just 3 places left available to join legendary Spanish lepidopterist Miguel López Munguira in search of some outrageous autumn #butterflies.

Two red-hot Kent classic #orchids for this week's @wildflower_hour#OrchidChallenge, both seen while doing the pre-tour preparation for the @Mariposa_Nature Kent orchid day-trips this sultry weekend - Late Spider & Lizard Orchid.
How fortunate that the #WildflowerHour#OrchidChallenge should come in the same week as the ‘Orkids’ (my kids) annual Kent orchid road trip. 15 species seen as well as some nice colour variations and the traditional sea swim finale. See ALT text for details. @wildflower_hour
