New Butterfly Book

[Wild-Woman]

My neighbour has just dropped in my new book. She must have harboured it all day.
Xmas has come early. The book? The Millennium Atlas of Butterflies in Britain and Ireland.
Superb. Guess who'll be sitting up all night reading.Will do a proper review when I've digested some of this wonderful information. Jules

hmmm i think i saw this?...or was it another "atlas of such and such" but it was all maps and dialogue and no pictures?....or is this one different..

oh no....im thinking of the "new atlas of the british and irish flora" a cool £115 at alana ecology

looks the biz.....but thankfully found a copy in the uni library and it is just pages of stats and distribution maps.....all very deep stuff and no pics.

give us a review jules when you can....i have a good few moth and butterfly books now but always keen on more , i have just checked your one out in the alana catalogue and it looks yummy.

There's another book worth looking at which is a bit of a follow up to the Millenium Atlas. It's "The State of Butterflies in Britain and Ireland" ISBN 1-874357-31-5

This has the usual story of successes Essex Skipper, Comma, Speckled Wood and worrying declines High Brown Fritillary in particular.

This is all singing all dancing Dan.Colour plates, distribution maps, tons of info. A real butterfly bible.And a recording section at the back. For £30 very well worth it.

Go for it. The depth of information on each species couldn't have been researched any better.It's going to keep me quiet for ages.
