Mother Nature liked me today...

On holiday this week, but the missus had friends round, so I decided to disappear up to White Coppice for a few hours. It was fairly early and lovely and quiet, which meant I could sit still in the shrubbery for a while without getting looked at like some kind of weirdo.

Everything came out to play today, even if I didnt know what most of them were!!! Any help with id's would be greatful (think #1 is a small white). #3 also liked munching on other flies.

I got great shots of something else, but I cant post them up yet

Again, hand-held with the kit lens

#1

#2

#3

The last one works best for me
A bit more space on the right probably wouldn't be too bad.

Number 3 is a Yellow Dung Fly.

Good shots with kit lens
I think 2 is Common Froghopper of Cuckoo Spit fame.
Butterfly could be Green-veined White.

thanks for the comments! I've got a new lens coming this week (used, but new to me), which will hopefully enable me to get that much closer and sharper!
