My first Orange Tip (Female) of the season on my local patch of Woodgate Country Park Birmingham. 19th April 2021
The warm weather over the weekend of April 8-9 triggered a large hatch of butterflies at Burton Mere Wetlands. I noted five species - orange tip, small white, green-veined white, peacock and speckled wood with the orange tips present in very large numbers. This is one of them feeding on a green alkanet flower.
A female Orange-tip found roosting during an evening walk. A bit of a breeze made photography a challenge but a few frames came out well enough. It's been a good few weeks for this species locally.

From L'Anse to Summit CN battles a stiff eastbound grade that tops out at 3.04% as they climb the Huron Mountains. L540 is near the top of that Climb and has reached fresh frosted trees but that didn't last as we dropped back down in elevation.
Burnt-tip Orchids (Neotinea ustulata) on rough south facing limestone grassland in the "White" Peak District. A diminutive orchid BTOs are rare in Derbyshire and difficult to spot amongst grasses and other wildflowers.
La laguna rosa de Torrevieja, un lugar mágico y colorido, tiene su peculiar color rosa gracias a unos diminutos organismos llamados Halobacterias y a un tipo de algas muy especial, la Dunaliella salina.
Estos seres vivos microscópicos adoran los lugares muy salados, como nuestra laguna, y tienen un pigmento que les ayuda a absorber la luz solar y convertirla en energía. Este pigmento es el que da ese tono rosa tan bonito al agua.
La Laguna Rosa de Torrevieja no solo debe su color a las halobacterias y a las algas Dunaliella salina, sino que también alberga otro interesante habitante: la Artemia salina, un pequeño crustáceo, similar a una minúscula gamba, que se siente como en casa en aguas muy saladas.
La Artemia salina juega un papel crucial en el ecosistema de la laguna, ya que se alimenta de las microalgas y, a su vez, sirve de alimento para otros animales, como los flamencos. …

Burnt Tip Orchid in the unimproved limestone grassland of the Derbyshire "White" Peak District. BTOs are described as "almost extinct". in Derbyshire due mainly to loss of habitat following agricultural land improvement schemes and are limited to a handful of remote sites.
The Butterfly Place in Westford opened for the season today, as they do every Valentine's Day. I've been looking forward to visiting, and made sure to stop by before school vacation brings big crowds next week.
Burnt-tip Orchids (Neotinea ustulata) on rough south facing limestone grassland in the "White" Peak District. A diminutive orchid BTOs are rare in Derbyshire with this one field their last remaining site. Due to their small size (2-5-centimetres high) they are difficult to spot amongst grasses and other wildflowers.
We saw quite a few Orange-tip butterflies on a walk round two of the reservoirs in the Longdendale valley last week.
Another shot in the comment below.
Wikipedia: Hebomoia glaucippe, the great orange-tip, is a butterfly belonging to the family Pieridae, that is the yellows and whites. It is found in the Indomalayan realm and Wallacea. This species is found in much of south and southeast Asia, as well as in southern China and southern Japan.
These birds (almost) always seem to look in excellent condition, probably the normal viewing conditions of a bright winters day and a healthy diet of high carotene berries helps.
I have included a shot taken a few years ago in comments below of the wax primary feather tips that give the bird its name.
Taken in Kelling, North Norfolk. Approx. 24m away.
En una fresca y nublada mañana de marzo, buscando a las Callophrys Rubí, que no aparecieron, encontré a este pequeño escarabajo, que me sirvió para matar el gusanillo macrero, desconozco la especie a la que pertenece..
Ya volveré con mejor tiempo en busca de las Rubí.
Está situado en la isla de Skye en el punto más occidental de la misma. Fue construido en 1909 y lo han automatizado totalmente en 1990.
Recuerdo que hacía un viento de narices que ni el trípode se podía apenas sostener y mucho frio. La verdad que una vez estado allí y viendo todo este tipo de paisajes se te olvidan todas las penurias. Se pueden ver desde allí unos acantilados impresionantes.
Recomiendo ver en grande.
PD: Me marcho un par de días a Toledo así que os dejo tranquilos hasta el miércoles por lo menos :)
Gracias por todas vuestras visitas
