Another great season this year, with some nice butterfly images captured...roll on next Spring :wink:
My 3 entries, all seen/photographed in/around Kent this year. Single images(no stacking) no cropping to any of these, just downsized the files. Handheld, Jpegs, 12 to 16 MP cameras used, also 500D close up filter attached to the lens, basic minimal editing.

Female Grizzled Skipper, 9/5/21 at 5.50pm. Panasonic G80/45-150mm lens. 1/250, f/16, ISO 400, 150mm zoomed lens.

Three images of different species around Fife and the Lothians. Small Skipper; expanding its range into Fife now. Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary; always a joy to see these at a local nature reserve. Comma butterfly; a newcomer to the garden, this one liked the paint-covered ladder.

My three photographs showcase (I hope) the exquisite beauty that exists in natural variation. All three butterflies were photographed this year at Chambers Farm Wood, Lincolnshire, part of the Bardney Limewoods NNR.
