Swallowtail in Oxfordshire
Swallowtail in Oxfordshire
I'm a new member, please forgive the poor quality of the image, but I took this photo of a Swallowtail in my garden in Caversfield, Oxfordshire on the 21st of July 2014, I thought as a sighting it might be of interest, it continually returned to a rather scruffy bit of wild fennel and a hollyhock.

Well done Daniel - that's a nice continental Swallowtail! Can you please report this to the Upper Thames branch of Butterfly Conservation? Their website is at:
