anoher quick hour at martin down yesterday. not much flying at 10.00. still managed a few shots.
another attempt at small heath, a better picture than usual for me of one of these but still that blade of grass
male common heath, must have pressed the flash button as it fired for this one, the light was that bad at times, some moths certainly know how to show off thier antennae
i know ... another chimney sweeper but i was surprised at the gold dusting on this one, not sure if it goes as they get older
and i'm sure a better photographer would have had a field day with this little guy. I know i enjoyed wayching him.
and following on from dilletantes Meadow brown, i had put the gear away as i was nearing the car park and i know this is heavily cropped and a terrible photo but the light showed off this meadow brown so well that i had to try to get it. by the time the camera (no time for a lens) was out of the bag i only got this shot, it really was a stunner. so my lesson there was don't put the camera away til your in the car no matter what the weather.
