As you may well have noticed from the latest pictures on my blog, it's that time of year when birds are most difficult to observe since migration is more or less over, trees are at their leafiest, and parents are busy caring for their young hiding in the undergrowth. In June, my attention generally turns to insects, therefore, and, since dragonflies are now on the wing, I tried photographing some last weekend. I managed to get some decent shots of a few species, including a Scarce Chaser, but this Red Admiral stole the show as is sat sunning itself on a wall, the pattern of which made for a lovely background.
