Badbury Rings 26/04/2026

Post by PimperneBloke »

I planned on a butterfly hunt, so just took the 400mm, so most of the shots are massively cropped. It was possibly too early and too breezy for the butterflies but some birdies made up for it!

Hope you enjoy

Cheers Snappy, I was a bit disappointed by the butterfly no show, I think it was a couple of Holly Blues, a couple of brimstone, maybe an Orange Tip, and that was it. Like I said, the nice birdies made up for it :)
