Mike Blacknell : Macro Photography
Small Heath Butterfly
This tiny beauty was photographed early this morning 19.08.22 at St Catherine’s Hill SSSI in Hampshire . The recent heatwave has kept me away from my favourite SSSI as it’s been to warm for my macrophotography even the early mornings found the butterflies to active ! Glad to say on my return today there is still a good number of chalkhill blue butterflies, brown argus, and small heaths all feeding on the now dwindling late summer wild flowers.WPD22nature
