Photo-bombed..!!

Photo-bombed..!!
I chased this lovely Speckled Wood butterfly all round my garden trying to get a shot of it...........eventually it landed on a paving stone and I dashed in and got just one photo before it flew off..........and then I realised I had been photo-bombed by a bloody fly :-)))

The fly gives it scale and even more interest Keith. After all we are creating photos for pictorial reasons rather than pure scientific natural history records, or have I got that wrong? Well done -fly an-all.

Cheers, Herb

Lovely butterflies and annoying flies. In Spain, it's called killing two birds with one stone. The fly thinks it's the star of the photo, not the butterfly.

Ha, ha............I expect you're correct in your thinking Anton and we have the same saying here.

Thanks for dropping in and taking the trouble to comment!
