Painted lady invasion part 1

Lord Vetinari

Had my own mini-invasion of the french painted lady butterflies yesterday morning- had more than a dozen fluttering around the front garden feeding on the flowers. Natural light/fill flash shots.

Love the last two shots I'm glad you get such dainty little visitors in your garden, cause that means we get to see more of you awesome shots .... Skippy

Thanks Skippy
I normally just see half a dozen of these during the summer not 20 at once, apparently thousands have been crossing the channel from france into Southern England- very odd.

Thanks for the comments Cuong and Phil

Cuong - saw someone mentioning it was due to a wet winter over the Atlas mountains in North Africa which suits these- apparently there are lots moving all over Europe.
