Allmendhubel 3 - chasing the elusive
Swallowtails are found in only one area of the UK, so seeing one or two flying around up at Allmendhubel was a real treat. But talk about elusive: every time I got near enough to be sure that it was bigger than a pinhead in the frame, off it would go at great speed! This was the best I could manage after about 15 mins trying (and lots of deleted images!) - pity that it's the nearer dandelions which are in the best focus!
