Compared with some countries we don't get many colourful butterflies .. but our best can hold their own. CC very welcome. Also pics of British butterflies at their best ... info about the camera settings most welcome as I'm keen to improve my technique ... a fairly low 'keeper' rate at the moment.

Canon 50D 300 mm IS F4. 1/800.f7.1 ISO 400.
