Peacock

The first of many, a Peacock butterfly sunning itself up on a tree stump. Didn't expect to see many butterflies at this early in the year and it looks like it taken the winter pretty well!

Finally, the opportunity presented itself with not one, but over ten Peacock butterflies all in one small area of the reservoir car park. I only pulled up there to figure out where I was going to head to.

Went for a walk around Chouet hoping to find some birds or prey. I did find a buzzard but got distracted by the ear piercing call of this peacock in the field below. I was lucky enough to see it in all its glory and I knew in my mind exactly the shot I wanted.
