It's well overdue for starting. This is the link to last years thread
Butterflies and Moths 2023
There haven't been a lot of butterflies around here this year so far. The earliest was a fresh Red Admiral on the 3rd of january
Since then I've seen a Speckled Wood & Peacock. There have been Brimstone's about but I haven't seen them. Plenty of time left in the year to go chasing butterflies.
Best wishes

Thank you. I love my Canon R7 and RF 100-500 lens. Best and sharpest lens I have owned.

I was so far away to get it all in, I might have been better using a zoom lens rather than the macro!
