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

You have been busy PB... Most of them birds have got the posing sorted I would be well pleased with that selection

Great set of pics PB.

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
