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 photos and authoritative commentary. http://www.eurobutterflies.com/
