| | | Herts, Beds and Bucks Group
Hi all 
I am opening this thread so we can enable notification of meetings and other important events to members in the HBB Group.
I will shortly get around to inviting members of the group to subscribe to this thread.
Links posted here will take you back to the group (which is a little obscure and non-functional in its present location).
I am hoping that this will draw everyone together and make the group more dynamic and even more fantastic than it already is  |

There's currently a nice showing of Pasque Flowers at Knocking Hoe at Pegsdon on the Herts. Beds. border. 
They should still be good next W.E. - 25th April. I understand that there's also a good showing at Barton Hills, nearby.
If you go, I can recommend that you call into the village tearoom in Hexton for an authentic 50's experience!

OK group, just to keep everyone informed. It looks as there is no possibility of getting notifications of new posts in the group: http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/fo...ial-group.html
But at least we can keep people posted of important events here |

Hi H B & B
I spent a couple of hours chasing Butterflys today, waded through nettles and tried to find something that stayed still for more than a millisecond and these were some of my shots.

Speckled Wood

I got a Speckled Wood this afternoon, and it's nowhere near that good, Roy. I'll keep trying, or post it if I can't do better  |

You were lucky..they never stay still for me..
It was windy here as well so that makes it impossible.
Every shot there is a stunner.
You must be so proud.
