This subspecies is found in Spain and increasingly rarely eastwards into northern Italy. Elsewhere in Europe the nominate subspecies alveus is found northward through France and Germany to Poland through all of eastern Europe down to Greece.

Hello Marx
Excellent details on the bird and thistle. And I do like the warm colour tones. The Large Grizzled Skipper shows up well - nice and sharp - well done

Hi, Marx,

what a beauty!! excellent colours, details and composition. the pattern on the wings of the butterfly is very attractive - it reminds me of the ladies' winter coats. thanks for sharing.

chrs,

Witaj,
Piękny motyl. Bardzo ładnie uchwycony. Ciekawy kadr i poprawna ostrość. Bardzo podobają mi się te włochate skrzydełka :).
Pozdrawiam Małgosia
