    This one captured in Cernay, France, a very attractive butterfly. Note that only one of the tails remain.

    If/when you see my contribution to your 'Tiger Moth' Rolf you will realise I've done my research on both it and this Scarce Swallowtail the sightings in our country of which should be treated with caution as they are very rare here and regarded as more likely to be the result of imports or/and introduction, both of which I personally deplore.

    By the way Rolf, I appreciate yours seen in France.

    Pete.

    The equipment I use is a Canon 30D with Sigma 50-500mm lens. I also have a garden hide from which I take most of my pictures.

    Lovely sharp images rolf, and what a lovely butterfly. I wonder where it's tail went to
