Not so much a technique Problem, more a lack of subject matter.

I'm not sure if this is a problem associated with where I live on the East Coast, but there are no bugs/butterflies to be seen, let alone photograph.

A few months ago I upgraded to the Canon 100mm IS macro lens, but so far have only been able to photograph flowers with the exception of two butterflies and one dragonfly.

I go out on a regular basis in the hope of finding some bugs. The local nature reserves and also the many Land Drains/ rivers. are totally lifeless, bug wise that is.

Normally my garden would be alive with bees, hoverflies and such, so far this year I've only seen one hoverfly and very few damsels.

I must admit that this is the worst Spring/Summer I've ever experienced. Dry often sunny, but extremely cold, often quite windy and today is no exception.

Have just been speaking to my son on the phone from Manchester, he says the weather is beautiful with clear blue skies.

So is this just a problem on the East Coast of Lincolnshire?
