First Flutters of the Year
A belated post of my first Butterfly sightings of the year. Taken at Marston Vale Country Park Bedfordshire on 23rd. March.
Also seen but alas no photographs -
Peacock (inachis io) and Brimstone (gonepteryx rhamni)
And three days earlier I took this photograph in my garden
You'll notice that the rear of the wings are out of focus, this could be down to my poor photography but, in my defence the moth was vibrating it's wings very fast at times. I don't know if this was some kind of defence mechanism or it was just warming up it's wings prior to taking flight?

Lovely shots Trevor.
I'm going to have to brush up on the flutter ID's, and get ready.
I think you could be right about the moth warming up for take off.
Thanks Keith, yes they will soon be hear. ;)
You have such a talent, Trevor. These are beautiful. And that chaffinch in your previous post is stunning.
