A cracking day out at the National Trust Felbrigg Hall and Gardens with two Hummingbird Hawk-moths photographed and other insects and Butterflies seen and photographed. The weather was great so we spent more time in the garden than in the hall itself. Back at the cottage I used a 500mm lens to get some shots of Purple Hairstreak Butterflies high up in an Oak tree.
