Been playing with the new macro lens and getting used to manual settings on the 7D. It's all great fun, but have I got a lot to learn!! This morning I photographed this Cypress Pug that's been hanging around the living room the last two days.
Apparently this uncommon pug is a relatively recent arrival to the UK, being first recorded in 1959 at Lamorna in Cornwall, before spreading across the southern counties. They usually don't get much further north than Gloucestershire or Suffolk, although it has been recorded as far north as Warwickshire. A distribution map can be found on the excellent UK Moths website
here.
