Thanks Jeff, It was a hand-held shot using the 45-200mm at it’s maximum 200mm. 1/2500sec @ F5.6 ISO 400mm. Large/fine 3000 x 4000 Jpeg. The light’s brilliant in Mallorca of course. I cropped it just a bit for the gallery. Gordon
Great shot Gordon, I can’t believe it was hand-held. I managed to get a shot of one in Lindau, last year but it was a bit blurry. It was evening, so the light was failing. Also saw one of these moths in South Wales, this June, the first one I’ve seen in Britain.
I’ve just bought the 45-200mm lens, after seeing your crow images. Hope mine look as good.

Hi Gordon, I live this photo, so beautiful and clear.
I am a really enthusiastic beginner
and I would be very happy to have
taken such a lovely photo. Your
gallery is my favourite!!
Aw! Fabulous. I tried to get a shot of this this year but I wasnt fast enough or close enough.
If you grow echium vulgaris the wild native echium of the UK you can bring them into your garden.
Interesting Dave – thanks. They aren’t easy to capture! I usually set the focus-distance manually and using “burst” – if you take enough shots – eventually you get a “keeper”. By the way – when viewed through the EVF – the wings look like they are in slow-motion (strobe effect). Try it! Gordon
