No-less-a-Woody & Large Tortoiseshell Butterfly O1017

I never realised how small lesser spotted woodpeckers are! What a beautiful little bird. I have painted this one life-size and many thanks to Ian Dickerson for resource material gathered from Paxton Pits Nature Reserve. I was excited to stumble upon a website entry regarding the large tortoiseshell butterfly, thought to be extinct in Britain. Visit a posting and photograph of a Large Tortoiseshell Butterfly uploaded by Stuart George January 7, 2009 at http://www.nowpublic.com/environment/large-tortoiseshell-butterfly. Stuart says: "This species has been extinct in Britain for about 20 years but I saw this one on Tuesday 26 June at Ventnor, Isle of Wight." How encouraging!
