Peacock Butterfly!

21°C  -  8 mph ENE Wind S[eed  -  18 mph Gusts  -  Sunny Afternoon.  Visit from niece Rhonda this morning and we went shopping in Lidls. I was taking a few blips in the garden this afternoon when I noticed this Peacock Butterfly.  It was just leaving the garden so I followed it hoping to get a good blip.  Which I did  -  but what a palaver[/b]☻☻  It flew over the fence onto the road fluttering all over the place.  I followed it from 15.32 ‘til 15.47 before it opened up for me  -  it just sat on the pavement for a good fifteen minutes enticing me.  The end blip was brilliant, so here it is straight out of the camera with only some cropping. The insets show how it enticed me  -  top opened, second closing  -     then it closed it wings entirely and I waited a good ten minutes for it to open them again!  Fortunately I had a garden wall to lean on☻☻
