Seen at Snakeholme Pit Butterfly Reserve today.
1. Orange Tip
and
2. Azure Damselflies
There were also a few other butterflies:- various whites, brimstones, painted lady, peacock. Lots of Azure Damselflies, Small Reds, and we think we also saw 3 hawkers in the distance, possibly brown, common or migrant which often come to the area. Finally we did see 3 male Banded Demoiselles, but could not get close enough for a decent picture. The best I could do with the only lens I had with me (Tamron 180mm) was this rather distant shot:
3. Banded Demoiselle
Next time I'll take an alternative lens and, hopefully, have a bit more luck.
