During 2022, I have spent many hours photographing butterflies, it has been very enjoyable, addictive and tiring, the 4.45am alarm calls do start to take a toll!

The Small Skipper, I have a soft spot for these guys, they really are stunning when you get up close to them. I searched many times for the Silver Spotted Skipper, but just didn't have any luck, maybe next year.......





Some of the residents from a new site this year, a great new find, which always delivered....

I had some fun with a Trioplan lens this year, it gives a great bubble bokeh effect

As the sun goes down on my butterfly season, I am already looking forward to next year....
