Small Tortoiseshell

a Small Tortoiseshell, in the bright sun, but blowing wildly in the breeze.

Taken on a 560mm "birding" lens @ ISO250; f/5.6; 1/800s handheld:


Thanks for looking

Nice one , considering the set up you got good DOF , and I love sky blue backgrounds on butterflies .

- many thanks Mark
- I was on my knee for this one in order to get the blue sky background, and about 15 feet distant so as not to disturb it. Saw more butterflies than birds this morning though, but at least the long lens got some results!

- comments much appreciated Alby
- although they are common at this time of year, I'm always amazed at their vivid colours!
