Yet another visit to Tatton Park on a very warm day this time with the Sony 6400 and the 18-135 zoom lens which was used on all Sony images. All focal lengths mentioned are 35 mm equiv's and hand held.
Alas again no butterfly dome this time. Plenty of bees around but no butterflies.

As usual I took a few close-ups on the way from the car park to the entrance
