Speckled Wood on Buddleia

Paul Iddon

Here are 6 shots of a Speckled Wood butterfly, from slightly different angles. Wouldn't normally get so close to the butterfly I don't think, but this one was a cutting from the buddleia bush, stood on an upturned washing linen basket!

C&C as always.

They are probably as common as any other (bar cabbage whites) round my way.

Hi Paul

I like #2 best. It has a lot of presence. Colours are very good. Is that a Sigma 105mm macro?

Remarkable series of shots! Unfortunately, I can't seem to get that close to butterflies, they see me coming and off they go!
