Guy Padfield

Guy lives in western Switzerland and has an excellent site, especially the localised mountain species, and it is no surprise that his "tick list" is regularly over 150 species. Also an excellent diary.

Matt Rowlings

Matt also lives in western Switzerland and travels widely, his site featuring some superb European rarities (where else are you going to see an Agenjo's anomalous blue?) with exceptional photographs and authoritative commentary.

This is an exceptional new site focussing on the butterflies and wildlife of the département of Var in southern France. The videos - all filmed in the wild by Brigitte and Pieter Kan - of iconic species are unique and amazing. Highly recommended.

Peter Groenendijk

Another excellent site from the Netherlands, with many superb photographs from across Europe. I have seen Peter in action in France, taking over an hour to get one shot, and the quality of the result shows the effort was worthwhile.
