British Moth Gallery

Eventually this section will be split to have it's own pages for each species but until I have built up a reasonable collection of pictures, then they can be shown together.

It is often quite hard to get good pictures as when out with my camera, I often have the 100-400mm lens attached to the camera which is not close focusing.  Therefore If I see a butterfly I wish to take a picture of, I often need to change to the 17-85mm Lens and get nearer to the subject (before it has flown away).
