We took advantage of the warmer weather today for possibly our last visit this season to our butterfly hunting ground.

Crane fly Daddy long legs


Small Copper and it was small


Caterpillar I think this is a small tortoishell


Dragonfly Southern Hawker


Lunch I think the spider was going to have a good meal


I hoped you enjoyed this series of pix.

Re: Out in the field pix

Thanks very much John.

The Olympus 70-300 lens is superb and such good value for money.

I get as much satisfaction when using the Olympus 50-200 coupled with the 1.4 converter.

Hi Barr1e
A great series of well composed images of a great variety of insects. It is getting a bit late in the season but there is still plenty around. A couple of days ago, I photographed a Brimstone butterfly with its wings open - unfortunately, the underside only was visible from the position it was in grrrrr!
I see you have really mastered the 70-300 lens. Something I was never able to do.
Thanks for sharing your images.

Nice images Barr1e. I tried to photograph a ladybird on my working top that I brought in with one of my lettuces the other day. It wouldn't keep still.

I seem to be seeing a plethora of wildlife just lately as we had a lecture on a nature reserve nr Doncaster last night. Excellent photographer - Allan Parker.

Thanks for sharing I do like to see this type of image and must have a serious go at trying to record some wildlife.

Lovely set Barrie, and thanks for sharing. I like the 3rd (having hastily skipped over that spider!)

Re: Out in the field pix

Peter, Autumn and Caz, I am pleased you liked them.

I think the last couple of days have dealt a blow to those still flying Peter. Although when you look at the poor conditions of some, they must be pretty hardy.

Thanks for the link Autumn - great site.

Caz - my daughter doesn't care for them either.
