Swallowtails in Cyprus
On a recent visit to Cyprus, I was lucky to find a small colony of very confiding Swallowtails. They always stayed very low to the ground so I was able to get these low-angle shots.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments.
ReplyDeleteAnthony, they were taken at a lovely place called Neo Chorio, two miles south of Latsi nr Polis. Its a very picturesque area a bit like north cyprus.
Great captures! I understand that this butterfly is not commen in England but has been seen in spring, undertanding the information on Springwatch this year.
