Not as bad as it seems — taken from a balcony at the Tate Modern, where I went to see the Exposure exhibition.

I’d never seen one of these butterflies before, and nor had the couple walking the towpath in front of me…then we saw another about ten metres away! Extremely well camouflaged (probably why we’d not spotted them before) they were the only two I saw all afternoon.

This was taken not far from the M40, just after it has left the Chilterns and entered the flatlands of Oxfordshire. Normally you are tripping over the Red Kites down there…but typically as soon as I rock up, they all decide to call it a day!
