A Fabulous Golden Birdwing Butterfly taken at the at the Pung-Waan Resort Hotel, Kanchanaburi, Thailand on the 7th February 2012.

A lifetime ambition achieved, I've always wanted to see a Birdwing in the wild!

Unfortunately this one only settled on a tree trunk in deep shade, so getting a photograph was tricky... it didn't show much of the 'golden' hindwing either, but in the end, I was just really happy to see one at all!!!
