Pleased to get a flight shot.
It was great just watching this Dragonfly as well as trying to photograph it, I watched as it chased a Butterfly which only escaped by diving into the grass, another one didn't have the chance to as it was over the water and after a frantic aerial duel it just managed to evade it, great to watch!
Another of the beautiful moths that I was lucky enough to see as they were being released as part of a local conservation project.

It's rare to find this species perched but I noticed this individual settle in a small Birch sapling and managed to approach close enough to get an image before it flew off again. It's a shame that the background is a bit messy.

A very welcome visitor to the garden today whilst I was having lunch!!
One of the most spectacular British moths and our only member of the Silk Moths.
Apatura iris belongs to the Nymphalidae family and has a wingspan of 55 - 70 mm. The males have a purple/blue sheen on the upper dsides of their dark brown wings. This effect is caused by iridescence and depends on the angle of view. They are distributed throughout Central Europe and as far east as Korea and China. They can only seldom be seen because they mostly fly over trees and even more seldom sitting on flowers. So I got very lucky to spot this one sitting on the ground feeding on dry ordure.

I went out hoping to photograph Black Darters on heather and got lucky with this Emperor that was warming up in the morning sunshine. In my experience, this species hardly ever perches in clear view so I was really pleased to get a rare close view on this occasion.

At the end of a hike, I suddenly noticed this wonderful butterfly on the path in front of me! I managed to take several pictures. Later I discovered that it was the Purple emperor (Apatura iris), a rare, protected woodland butterfly, which is on the red list of endangered butterflies in Switzerland (where I saw it). I also found out that "The adults are extremely elusive and occur at low densities over large areas".
This is a male specimen, whose blue-purple sheen is caused by iridescence (refection of the sunlight), which is why it only seems blue on one wing in my photo.
Not my usual subject, I'm useless at close up stuff but this one's not bad. Taken at Frampton Marsh.
