It looks to be the same to me. Are your going to submit your data to them?

It's very interesting Ian. I like the 3rd shot the best because of the angle even though it doesn't show the wing detail. If it were my shot I would have cloned that white spot out though.

I probably saw you at Ryton Wood Meadows on Saturday as there were a few photographers about. Yes it is a Marsh Fritillary. There has been an 'unofficial' release on the site which we are aware of.

Best wishes

which to me is like they have re-introduced the species but dont want to make a big deal of it because they dont want thousands of people trapsing all over the site
