    Default Small Copper Butterflies at Moor Copse Reserve

    On the way out of the reserve we made a detour to the meadow by the side of the motorway and to our delight spotted these Small Coppers, which had been absent on the large meadow at the back of the reserve.

    Wonderful pics, Rolf!

    That first shot is not just a great pic of two Small Coppers, but a superb composition as well!

    No - not an accident!

    The camera needs a human brain to work with it to take the pic...

    Maybe slightly lucky that they posed to show two different views of themselves so well though!
