Back Garden - one from a couple of days ago, unfortunately I was unable to get at right angles to him.

Male Orange Tip (Anthocharis cardamines) brightens the shade as it nectars on garden flowers.

Orange-Tip, ' Anthocharis cardamines ' ( Pieridae ),

The Orange-tip is one of the most distinctive spring butterflies in the region and can often be seen flitting along flowery verges and woodland rides, The male is particularly striking, with bright orange tips on its white upper forewings, which can also be seen on its underwings, The tips of the female's forewings are black rather than orange, making it quite subdued in appearance, The underside of the hindwing in both sexes is with subtle greeish marbling,

A female Orange-tip could be mistaken for a Bath White, so note the Orange-tip paler appearance with fewer dark spots, and delicate flight,

Flies April - June in many habitats, including gardens, but favours damp grassland and woodland margins.

Foodplants, cuckoo-flower, garlic mustard, garden honesty and many other cruciferous plants

Wingspan - 4cm,

Flight Period - April - June,

Status,- Widespread and common,

Although Willington has been flooded for months I went looking for hairy dragonflies none seen by me but a possible sighting from the hide by 2 other guys. I did see a marsh harrier, a bittern and my first damselfies for 2024 plus a few other birds.

Many thanks to you ALL for the views, faves and comments you make on my shots it is very appreciated

Delighted to see my first Orange-tip male Butterfly in my gdn this morning in spite of a cool wind. the underside shot was taken with a lot of zoom as it was still very mobile. Still not seeing as many butterflies as usual by this time of year & not seen any Small Tortoiseshell's, most unusual but those are reported as declining species

Tip:

Focussed light can be incredibly powerful. You can of course use a snoot but in most cases this will still give a bit too much light. Don't be afraid to use cardboard to block off even more of the light and really only "paint" the light where you want it.

I haven't made a tip jar in over a year, the last one was getting old, bulky and too much...This one just came out of nowhere while digging thru inventory for Altered Things....Put it together and am honestly SHOCKED it works lol! keep it simple.
