Buterflies and dragon again.

I went to a hide to try and get a few shots of birds, my first time there.

I'm not sure what the protocol is, but there were a stream of people passing through, chattering and waving/pointing at various things as they passed.

The birds soon left, but I did get a couple of shots of some butterflies and a dragon.

I know this is OOF in many places (all ? )
But I was trying for the two insects underneath the thistle, and was quite suprised to see I'd captured my first relativly recognisable insect in flight.

That is a huge female in comparison to the size of the male.

Great set of shots, I've not seen a comma butterfly before, but that mark is very clear. No 1 is my fave, great colours and detail

Some lovely shots there m8.
No 1 (Peacock) is also my favourite :thumbs:
