As it may be appreciated by the number of insect posts in 2021, bird photography had a lower priority than normal this year. In addition, it was also a very poor year locally for butterflies and several planned longer trips to look for rare species were cancelled due to non favourable weather. However some local butterflies and many moths were found and photographed and a selection of these are presented here.
