The veteran
Male Swallowtail butterfly who has probably been around for at least a week or two judging from his damaged wing
Taken on the hottest day of the year so far, with temperatures in East Anglia reaching 29 degrees.
Used my 300mm lens with an EF25 II extension tube to reduce the MFD. I find - at least for Swallowtails that 300mm is a perfect macro distance - you don't need to crowd the butterfly.
Taken in Norfolk.
