Fantastic butterfly photo's. It's great to see them back now that Spring is here. I think I spotted a fritillary and a brimstone in our garden today, but they were gone before I could get my camera out. I think it is still too chilly for them to stop and rest.

Yep, some of them are always fluttering and it's very difficult ! Some are more shy than others too and you can't get near them, but I try ;o)

Now I know what the yellow swallowttail was munching on...! I asked the question one photo too soon. Another great shot. My pics of butterflies are often blurry, because they are constantly moving their wings.
