The Spotted Flycatchers (Muscicapa striata), nesting and feeding their chicks in our garden, are incredibly skilled hunters. Unfortunately I do feel sorry for some of the beautiful insects they sometimes catch, in this case a Large Skipper butterfly.
The purple in the background is a blurred wild foxglove flower, growing against the garden wall.
Taken 6.8m from subject, tripod.

Excellent 'caught in the act' capture, Sylvia. Lovely clarity.

Striking image, so clear and pin sharp. Super detail and very good dof.

A wonderful nature shot Sylvia, it looks like this large skipper has skipped his last!
