Description
Ok I have had my arm twisted and decided to post, lol.
As you are no doubt awaare Alan and I had a trip out on Saturday the 18th April, down to Stratford-upon-Avon. The city's most famous son being Shakespeare. We weren't too interested in the bard ourselves but the largest Butterfly Farm in England(reputedly) is in this fair city, and that is where we headed for as soon as the coach stopped. We had a grest if somewhat short stay at the farm and took several photo's. The plan is to return in my car rather than a coach as on the journey down(100+ miles) we had to take a detour due to an accident on the M6 motorway and that added something like two hours to our journey. So that meant at least two hours less to visit the place, even though the driver delayed our departure by 45 minutes.
We still had an enjoyable time there and even managed to get a couple of shots of Shakespeares birthplace. The plan next time is to arrive early in the morning and walk around the center capturing the historic buildings before the tourists(like us) get there and stand around blocking the view.
Thanks for stopping by for a look and for any comments you care to make. If anybody knows the name of this species please tell.
Thanks Danny for the ID (Heliconius numata)

Lovely image! Well done!
Superb image Jeff! Excellent detail and composition!

Super, Jeff!
Very clear image Jeff, the sunshine is highlighting their wings. Cracking shot, none the wiser about an identification of these. BTW Jeff,on the ID sheet- the first one,Morpho Common IS the big Blue that we saw. I googled the name and it came up with images like the shots WE took ie.Wings ALL BLUE.
I do love this shot...was there and did not know about the butterflies. What a place to miss.

beautiful butterflies Jeff. I went into one at Miami and it was disappointing and another in Missouri was not much better. I was surprised how many butterfly larvae they get each day to keep the population going
I'm so glad your arm was successfully twisted, my friend. It hasn't been the same around here without you! The detail and the light in full view is amazing. A beautiful shot of these lovely creatures!
