 Ringlet Canon EOS 5D Mark2 EF180mm F3.5L Macro USM + Polariser Upon Tripod F11 @ 0.6 Seconds ISO 100 Full frame Hi all Another image of a woodland butterfly – probably a habitat that will have to dominate my images nowadays due to complete over (read bad imo) management of my favoured coastal sites. Basically even though preaching to the public about leaving wildflower areas alone to encourage bees, butterflies and insects in general, Kent wildlife and the environmental agency for the second year running has decided to mow down the only real strip of wildflower meadow along our Saxon shore way – with the easily predicted result of habitat loss and insect populations plummeting due to lack of native nectar plants. An area that in previous years saw a true and in this country rare abundance of insects like burnets and blue butterflies is now becoming yet another sterile environment like the rest of our rural landscape. Is it me? I am just getting older and grumpier, or are our land management organisations just tidying our surrounds into a sterile uniformed plan. Anyway sorry for my soap boxing – and hope you like the image My best to you all Matthew |
