Another capture of male yellow tip. This one shows better the yellow (orange) tips of the wings. Females don't have the yellow color on their wing tips.
More than 50% crop of the original.
I recently recorded a video with B&H with some helpful tips for shooting with a long telephoto lens. Check it out in the link below:

I cover topics such as selecting the right lens, handholding techniques, how to shoot from a tripod in both calm and windy conditions, and much more!

I've never really had much luck with Orange Tips until our weekend visit to Cerne Abbas. They were so well behaved in the cool conditions I had time for a few lens changes.
My two sister kittens are getting bigger! Six months old now. They are very closely bonded. This is Tipper (in back) and Cookie (in the front).

2 more photos of orange tip butterflies seen yesterday.
The only flowers that any settled on yesterday.
Victoria Vergara has just walked all the way to the longboard tip. Soon to run back for balance.
This is an infrared shot that's been heavily tweaked to have colors extracted and tuned.

Yesterday I went out for several hrs to relieve some stress. Just before heading home, sun setting the Tern made a visit at the pond. I stood on bridge and watched this impressive guy fish. Not the best or clearest but they are super fast (no excuses I know)
Species: Anthocharis cardamines.
This butterfly has white uppersides to its wings. It is only the males that have orange-tipped forewings; females have small black tips. In both sexes the undersides of the hindwings are mottled with moss-green. The orange tips warn predators that this butterfly is highly distasteful. Info:RSPB.
Many thanks to people who view or comment on my photos
Back Garden - couldn't believe my luck when he landed on this dead daffodil (I didn't spot the photobomber at the time)
Also had a Holly Blue land on some blossom, but too high for photos.
After leaving Chambers Farm Wood I popped into this small reserve just to see what might be about. My main target was dragonflies but it turned out that my highlight was seeing this orange tip visiting a flower.
I'm struggling to comprehend the seeming speed with which life has transitioned from manageable to the unimaginable. The preoccupation is rightly with the coronavirus itself. But ultimately the psychological aspect of longterm stress and anxiety might prove equally disabling. Each day brings an increased awareness that this is going to be a long term situation with effects that will surely outlast the virus itself. I'm clinging to daily routines in an effort to maintain mental health. But it's deeper than that. I need to feel a sense of self worth; a need to exist. There has to be more to a day than watching endless news coverage. It's important to be dialed into events, but I fear the hypnotic effect of ongoing news feeds. Balance is key right now. It will be a process of discovery for many of us as routines change, perhaps radically, as we find out how exactly we will fit into the new model. It will be a process.
We're on the verge of the vernal equinox; the first day of Spring in the northern hemisphere is Thursday. Normally a time of year filled with hope and optimism. Likely to go all but unnoticed this year. I was scrolling through an old email queue yesterday looking for a past communication. There I stumbled upon threads from exactly one year ago. They were filled with discussion of problems and issues with jobs that seemed paramount at the time, but utterly trivial now. How I wished those sorts of problems were the worst thing in life now.
The other day I noticed a very challenging astrological makeup for this week starting tomorrow, March 18. An astounding six planets will cluster in the sign of Capricorn. The indication is one of a tipping point being crossed. Perhaps a big disclosure is in the offing. The tension will remain strong through early next week. Stay safe.
