Shooting the Duke

The Duke of Burgundy Butterfly

I am very fortunate that I live in the County of Dorset and just a few miles from where I live, I can at this time of year observe and photograph a very rare butterfly - The Duke of Burgundy. 




I can say that this year there is quite an encouraging number of this species at the location where it normally exists.





Early Purple Orchid


Dog Rose










Red Campion


Also observed at the site was the Dingy Skipper Butterfly.
