Thank you so much for you kind comment David

I was sitting almost under a huge Oak tree wondering if the was a colony at the top when this one fluttered down.
I was so amazed I took about 60 photos mostly the same though

Here it is facing the other way

I have only ever seen one of thee before . I believe they habit the tops of Oak trees

I made a small video of the one I capture flying form flower to flower
Don't blink it wasn't easy

Well done ronniethepoo.
I have some more but don’t want to flood the site

Thank you kindly for your response

Thank you . I rarely see these butterflies and this one looked a little different with the whitish patch so I thought it might be the one Malcolm was describing

Thank you for your kind comment

Nikon 55-300mm VR F4.5-5.6G ED AF-S DX NIKKOR SWM lens. also AF-5 DX Micro Nikkor 40 mm f/2.8G SWM lens so some times I can follow birds and butterflies in flight when in continuous mode Thank yo...

Thank you for your kind comment It's a first for me as well. You are probably right about feeding and preparing for the long flight south The fact that there are only Red Admirals make me wonder ifnthey are being teritorial . There wer pleanty of other butterflies in the park but they were feeding o...

Thank you all. Glad you enjoyed the video.

I think they are declining down here now. Not quite so many about. We certainly had a great deal down here in Southwest

Thank you.
Yes a good idea

I wonder if the same effect could be achieved by putting maple syrup out? Hmmmm.....
