These images were taken during the first hour of bright sunshine in North Norfolk after almost a week of northerly winds and leaden skies. Bumble the Labrador stayed out of the hedgerows for once and some decent shots were possible. The second image has been posted largely because, although blurred as it took flight, the Large White doesn't have the thistle head to itself. I have kept the Common Blue at the bottom relatively small in the frame because I enjoyed how its colour was at once in contrast and at home in its surroundings.

i love that meadow brown (?) one. so beautiful and soft.
ReplyDeleteThe last shot is my favourite, just look at the colour combination.
ReplyDeleteHi Tim, you certainly took advantage of the early and best light.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images.
The first (and second) is a Green-veined White. Third and fourth a Red Admiral and the fifth and six Meadow Brown (Female and male respectively). The last one is actually a Holly Blue.
Dont worry about the wrong ID's as you cannot be a brilliant Photographer and know all about butterfly species.{:)
