A SURPRISE VISITOR

I had a surprise visitor a few days ago. It was a Maltese Swallowtail butterfly who decided to feast on my peach tree which has just started blossoming. He gave me enough time to go inside, run upstairs to get the camera and to take several pictures of him. I have been on alert since then but he is the only one that has showed up.

Many thanks for looking and for the stunning comments and all the fav's on yesterday's picture.

A great find and fav. capture of the beautiful butterfly on those nice flowers.
The entrance/ or end of the Scheldt river is very wide . West winds get strait in it. ( Have a look on Google maps : https://www.google.nl/maps/place/Westerschelde/@51.4261826,3.5258049,10z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x47c4866ef1f1454b:0xc4f86f7d5c384b5e
