Welcome to Hampshire Butterflies

This site is a work in progress and is primarily a photographic representation of Butterflies native to Hampshire and The New Forest.

During 2009 I developed a strong fascination and respect for these beautiful insects, spending many hours hunting and photographing
these colourful and challenging subjects in their natural habitats. Luckily we are blessed with a fine selection of species here in Hampshire.

There are still a few species I've yet to encounter so this site is far from comprehensive, however I intend to update the site frequently
with new photos as and when I am lucky enough to obtain them. Although I have researched several guides and websites to confirm identification I am aware that there may be some discrepancies which I am happy to be corrected. Please contact me via e-mail with the URL(s) of the offending page(s) with details and sources.
