Photo-bombed..!!

I chased this lovely Speckled Wood butterfly all round my garden trying to get a shot of it...........eventually it landed on a paving stone and I dashed in and got just one photo before it flew off..........and then I realised I had been photo-bombed by a bloody fly :-)))

The fly gives it scale and even more interest Keith. After all we are creating photos for pictorial reasons rather than pure scientific natural history records, or have I got that wrong? Well done -fly an-all.

Cheers, Herb

Thanks for these kind words Herb............and glad you like both the butterfly and the fly..........and of course you're mostly correct about our reason for taking photos.
