Broadcroft Quarry, Portland, Dorset - Butterfly Conservation area. If you are macro photographer, or you want to be - this is the place you have to visit for butterflies.

Very nice, clear and beautifull details. Need I say more. Can't really give any bad comments on this Marcin

Thanks for this on two counts Marcin: one because it's a lovely picture and two for telling me about this Butterfly place in Portland which i never knew existed but love taking butterfly shots. Could you perhaps PM me with more details of where it is?

Also, many congratulations on receiving the Member of the Month award, a thoroughly deserved accolade for both your pictures and your support of others

Cheers,
Rob

Yes very nice photo. I had heard of the place and was planning a trip.

Other good sites for butterflies (well they were last year, when I visited) are Powerstock Common (v.limited car parking) and Old Winchester Hill.

Some other transects (places to find them, including Portland ) and info on Dorset butterflys can be found at Butterfly Conservation Dorset Branch
