Hi,
Just had a search on google images and there's millions of images of these, but still this is my effort, it's taken a couple of years for me to stumble across one (as this is my style of nature photography. I did another shot from the other side for a back lit version.
Cheers

Google may bring up millions of these but very few of them are anywhere near as good as this . I particularly like the way the perch comes in from behind rather than from the botom like you usually get in this kind of shot.
Was at Bempton yesterday shooting flight stuff - plenty puffins but always pretty distant. Some nice close razorbills though.
Droves of folk there - the Bill Oddie effect. Got to play with a Canon 500mm - yum yum - it is very portable - easily handholdable for short spells. More grist for the mill!
Top notch image, more than just a bog standard record shot of this great looking butterfly. Super colour and good complimetary background. Nice work. I want to have a go at this type of close-up macro type work myself this season and if I get anything half as good as this I will be happy.

I am so envious of your macro work, they are always perfection. Top marks again.
Best wishes

I expected a good image before I opened this, but this is much better than good, It's fantastic
Well Done
