    Hi NatureFootstep. How did you guess!

    Thank you Mimmi.

    Hi Pia. Thank you. Have been chasing a few more 'damsels' today before the rain sets in over the weekend.

    Hi Mary. Rain is due which might dampen the spirits slightly this weekend but I'll do my best. Cheers FAB.

  12. Hi Rebecca. I'll admit that I wasn't aware the fly was in the frame when I pressed the button but it added to the composition!

  13. Hi there - thanks for the comment about my Blue Tiger. Your Speckled Wood is pretty special as well.

    Have you read "The Butterfly Isles" by Patrick Barkham? - splendid book about trying to see all of the UK's butterflies in a single year. I put a review of it on Amazon UK if you are interested.
