I thought it might be a good chance to photograph some butterflies in Stoke Park Estate this morning and I wasn’t expecting to see too many birds; and then there were 40+ swifts and a kestrel at Duchess Pond and I didn’t have the right lens!

I did manage a few  acceptable swift photos but the kestrel was beyond me. There were lots of meadow brown butterflies and one marbled white but all my other attempts at photos were rubbish.
