Welcome to the Wild About Britain forums | | | |  | Posted 30-03-2008 at 06:45 PM by nutmeg I spent some time down the garden today - and put my macro lens on the camera for the first time in a while.
Quite a few insects and spiders were out - including small tortoiseshell, peacock and brimstone butterflies. 
Several different ladybirds were active: 2-spot, 7-spot, harlequin, kidney spot and pine - with 7-spots being easily the most... | Officer of the Wild Empire | | Comments 0

I got a great view of it at the 300mm setting and the light was good, but the resulting images were way too soft. I'm now determined to invest in a sharp, longer lens of my own!  ... | Officer of the Wild Empire | | | Comments 0
