Pipevine Swallowtail laying eggs

Our Garden

I have been busy processing wedding photos so have not picked up my camera for a while,
but spotted this beautiful butterfly hovering around the Dutchman's Pipevine on our back
fence so went out to try and get some shots of it. I was very happy when it stopped flying and hung
onto the plant and very excited when I realised that I had managed to capture it laying eggs!

Canon EOS 7D ,Canon EF 70-200 mm f/4L IS USM
