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 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.

Peter Eeles UK Butterflies website

A comprehensive site covering all UK resident and migrant species. Excellent forums with much lively debate on all aspects of UK butterflies.

Peter Groenendijk

Another excellent site from the Netherlands, with many superb photos 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.

Bernard Fransen

Bernard is based in the Netherlands but also travels very widely. An interesting site even though it only has a limited number of "highlights" from each year, which is a pity because the photos are exceptional.
