Some recent Butterflies...

[Uncle Kevriano]

A few shots from my last couple of outings. The Swallowtails are the star of course, and they can only be found in Norfolk, at a few select sites on the Broads. Stunning creatures, it's been a good year for them so far, thanks to the mild Winter we had. I often crop square as it suits the subject better, and makes no difference for online display. I also like trying to get unusual angles, hence a couple of these here being out of the ordinary.

Stunning shots Kev! I really need to go butterfly hunting before our next addition to the family arrives and I have no time for anything except changing nappies!
