Many thanks Dave, Goldie, Wurzel & David, for your kind comments on the Holly Blue.
Indeed the comment from Dave ' Mr Holly Blue ' is a very welcome complement !
Today the cloud cover only began to break up well after lunchtime, but the temperature was near perfect.
A very slow walk along the Cuckoo Trail eventually produced a very fine female Speckled Wood with a very
nice backdrop for an image. A little later a male Orange Tip came in from nowhere, right in front of me,
and looking for refuge as the Sun went in. I had about 5 mins to take some closed wing shots before the
cloud cleared, only to discover a chunk out of it's L/H hindwing. I'm not complaining as it was my first O/T
to photograph so far. Another male O/T was seen on my way back to the car, as was a very frisky, female,
Red Admiral
Getting better!
Trevor.
