Peter Eeles, www.ukbutterflies.co.uk (full review).

This DVD-ROM reference guide provides comprehensive multimedia coverage of all 61 butterfly species that regularly occur in Britain and Ireland (including the recently split Réal's Wood White). This new edition contains over 200 video clips presented using the latest high-quality digital video technology and filmed by professional natural history cameraman Derek Budd. 100 beautiful still photographs have been added, all maps updated with the latest distribution data and the text species accounts revised. You can easily compare any species side by side, with simultaneous video and wonderful illustrations by Richard Lewington. There are also evocative spoken commentaries for every species by naturalist Richard Williamson.

Plus, it's now possible to add your own content—such as notes, photos or even video—all automatically integrated with the published assets for each species.

An update to this product is now available. We also have an iPhone and iPod Touch app. Click here to open the iTunes store.
