Went to Prees Heath to see the silver studded blues , hundreds there but light too harsh for shooting butterflys and too windy, but found this Robber fly carrying a poor silver studd around , making quite a noise when it was flying. managed a few shots with 100mm & mpe before it flew of again with its meal !
i never realised we had Robbers this big in uk.
