Would you believe it?

Last day of our holidays today, so tonight we did the packing, had our dinner and then cleaned the caravan.

About 9.30 we finally got finished and sat down to relax for a while.
I was hot so we opened the top windows and who should fly in and buzz around Johns  head but a lovely moth.
It finally settled on the curtain and I got loads of shots. Some with the 55-300mm lens and some with the same lens and Ranox fitted.
I haven't time to edit them and post tonight as we have to be up early in the morning, so I will try and do it over the weekend when I get home.
I may need some help with ID if I can't find it in my book.
I don't know if it's the way that his wings fold, but he almost looks like a dragon. (Maybe it's a Welsh one lol)
I am so excited as it's the first decent shots that I have got (fingers crossed)of a moth

A perfect end to the holiday.

 I don't worry too much while we are there, so long as we have somewhere to eat and put our heads down when we aren't out and about. The redneck years have passed and we need some home comforts theses days.

I didn't use the Raynox very much, Annie.

I found that I could get a fairly good close-up with the 55-300 zoom>

I got a shot of a crab underwater in a rock pool and one of those tiny little translucent fishy things with the zoom and they worked Ok. The many butterflies that we had in the Buddlia  bush by the caravan were quite high so only got a few shots, again with the zoom.
