First Brimstone of the year

[Son_of_Thor]

Been after one of these for a few weeks, but they never seem to settle when it's warm and I can never find them when it's not. It's usually an exercise in frustration TBH. This one fed briefly whilst I was watching and I managed to capture something of it, albeit it's more of a fun 'hide-and-seek' record than anything else. Shot with the usual 300 F4 + TC that's my go-to for Butterflies
