Swallowtail Butterflies, RSPB Strumpshaw Fen, Norfolk

 





















A day out at Strumpshaw Fen, Norfolk to see the Swallowtail Butterflies. We headed to a spot, recommended by a local, and were not disappointed. Within half an hour we saw one flying over, and then another, but not landing. The weather wasn't as sunny as forecast and there was a breeze but we were not giving up. Then....BINGO ! one came in to feed, and feed it certainly did. we watched it for well over an hour and it was still there when we left in glorious sunshine. A brilliant day out despite the journey there being non stop roadworks and white lining ! We saw 5 in total, a fantastic day looking at one of the most beautiful butterflies.  Home for beer and footie !!
