Swallowtail DSC_3686
Swallowtail / papilio machaon. Strumpshaw Fen, Norfolk. 09/06/16.
This individual showed consistently well over two days, favouring a small meadow.
It would fly in strongly, seeking out grass heads to rest on after nectaring near by.
This was its favourite perch, a tall, isolated Cock's Foot grass. It was easy to move right the way around it with stealth, affording great views from all perspectives and in all lights.
