Fantastic image. Well deserved.

Well done on your achievement Andy... !!

Thanks very much Gordon and Stu!

It took a lot of hot and sweaty effort to chase down that swallowtail I can tell you! So nice to be rewarded for my efforts.

Andy.

It had to happen, you've been putting out some great images, so very well done!

Well done Andy.

Fantastic image, well worthy of the accolade and about time your work was recognised.

Thank you very much for the kind words John and Mike!

It was quite funny in Croatia, just before I went to photograph this butterfly.

On the day I saw it fly to an area of Lavender that I wanted it to go to, so I rushed over there, only to find a couple hiding away, who were, shall I say, enjoying applying sun tan lotion to each other with a little too much enthusiasm! Imagine their surprise when they saw me racing towards them with a huge, pro-looking camera! Before I could explain the swallowtail landed in the perfect spot that i'd been waiting all week for and I managed to get a few shots off before I left them to it!

Just seen this, a few days late!
