Below are a selection of images of some of the butterflies I shot on a trip to Greater Nicobar Island in 2021.
To be honest, it was predominantly a birding trip and I’ll be the first to admit that butterflies got more of a ‘step child’-like treatment. Having said that I do think I hit the jackpot as I got some really rare and interesting species. Enjoy!

Thanks Shahida. My favourite was the Nicobar plane. When you read the blog (that should be out in a day or two) you will know why!
