More from late May.

Which then warmed up on my hand before flying off..

A couple of male Common Blues (I think that's what they are anyway - not too hot on blues).

Very nice set of images especially #3

Thanks - I like number 3. What slightly frustrates me with it is the fact that despite a large number of shots I failed to get the completely in line. The d**m wind never let up, and my burst shots failed to get one completely in the right position.
