our group are just back from a great week in the Bavarian Alps, with some exciting butterflies amongst the week's highlights, including multiple sightings of Camberwell Beauty, Woodland Brown and Dusky Large Blue, with Geranium Argus, Cynthia's Fritillary and Alpine Grayling adding to the excitement.

And thanks to the Eurostar and Germany's well-connected train network, all seen without having to step foot in an airport or spend time in a minibus.

Dusky Large Blue, False Heath Fritillary and Lesser Marbled Fritillary were on the wing, with Honey Buzzard overhead and Marsh Warblers singing
