Swallowtail Butterfly

This is a swallowtail butterfly (Papilionidae). The problem is, it is only found in Norfolk in the UK and I took this on the south coast! It's a beautiful specimen and was quite large.

Wow, just wow! This is absolutely amazing Ed...............I was completely unaware these were in the UK, never mind in the South of England.

The colours and shapes on its wings are exquisitely beautiful..........and you've captured it perfectly. An outstanding shot sir!

You should report this sighting to the Uk Butterfly Monitoring Scheme.........I'm sure they'd be delighted :

What a fabulous picture Ed! Like Keith, I wasn't aware that there were any here. Maybe it's due to the changing climate! You've captured it beautifully.
