Re: Sheep / crow / butterfly

Great pictures, I love the second one

The six spot is very similar to the five spot in colour apart from the number of spots , and they are even more stunning if flight as their underwings are red and all you see is this red and black moth, truly stunning

Re: Sheep / crow / butterfly

Bet it took you ages to think of a suitable title Azz

Adore the sheep, nosy creature, what were you doing that caused 'that' look of distain.

Beautiful colour on the moth, reckon moths are more obliging than butterflies as they don't fold the wings together, much easier to photograph at rest.

LOL This is a question we have all pondered, Azz has a whole collection of bemused, or startled, or running away, or shocked looking sheep and lambs, He seems to be at one with the "sheep"
Have you ever seen his cute lamb picture, what he did to make them react is anybodies guess

It's okay, he is always mocking my benches, he thinks I am crazy anyway

It's okay Azz I am leaving now!
