Butterflies!

Humble apologies that my 200th blog is about butterflies and not birds. With the fine weather continuing, this morning was a quick dash on to the downs to find a Dark Green Fritillary. The trip was successful but very short as the temperatures soon rose above my comfort zone and the lack of breeze compounded the discomfort to such a degree that I gave up after an hour. Still, in that time, I managed some reasonable shots of four species of butterfly, I was particularly pleased with the fresh Painted Lady.
