Herlige billeder! Sommerfuglen du kalder Vanessa Cardui er Vanessa Virginiensis, gæst fra Amerika eller Madeira og Kanarieøerne. Måske dog fastboende på Azorene også. Mvh. Peter Sunesen Danmark

Alla bra uttryck är ju redan tagna (Härligt!, Grattis!, Läckooort!) Så jag får nöja mig med att skriva NAJS!

Grattis till alla amerikanska stänkare! Kul att du fått så mycket på bild. Starkt jobbat. Det verkar som om inflödet på Corvo fortsätter.
