Old Film Footage

[LizG]

I am hoping that AdamsGirl might occasionally look in despite being very busy at the moment, as I really do need her help on this one. I have recently found a link to this footage and in the contents is mentioned a Purple Emperor (butterfly). I really want to know whether this is a genuine sighting on the Broads and where it might have been filmed. If anyone knows if this footage is available on line somewhere, please let me know.

In addition to boats I do have a minor interest if anyone is interested!

Recently, I suppose about mid December, I found a butterfly (Peacock) fluttering about in my bedroom. Thinking about it, I've probably done exactly the wrong thing. I caught it and carefully released it outside!

 

Was that the wrong thing to do and if so, what should I have done?

[LizG]

You nearly did the right thing, better than keeping it indoors, here is some advice from Butterfly Conservation.

Hope that helps

Just bumping this up in case anyone can help - thanks

Thanks for bumping this, It has reminded me to mention that I released the peacock butterfly just outside the back door, which happens to be under the carport. Maybe all is well after all!

Nice article (link) by the way
