Swallowtails

A generally grey and drizzly Father’s Day in Norfolk was brightened up considerably by this superb Swallowtail butterfly in a brief sunny period at Strumpshaw RSPB. Surely the most attractive species in the UK?

There were also a couple of orchids in the flower meadow… still need to ID these, though I’m sure they’re not rare.

And I also took a few snaps of some juvenile birds around the garden feeding station…
