Sad there's no name for it. There's a book on Madeiran wildlife and I
think
I'll send for it.

One of their few large native bits of wildlife is the blue pigeon which we
have now seen twice to the irritation of one of the hotel managers who
though both a local and a walker has never seen one! there are apparently
only a few left. Then there are their eagles which look suspiciously like
buzzards to me but I have always been too polite to say so!

Saw the 'eagles' and agree on your ID. They look very like what we see here
every day!

If its a small light weight book I would be interested what you think of it.

I'll get it and then you can have a look at it when one of us goes in the
direction of the others.
BTW, thinking of your butterfly, would it be migratory? How far would it
have to migrate from/to and would that be possible for a butterfly?
