More butterflies seen in the area near where the minibus was parked.
I have wanted a photo of a large orange tip settled with wings open for a long time but they very rarely ever settle with wings open and I still have not managed such a shot.
With wings closed they are drab butterflies but this was the first time I photographed one fairly well.
The Great Treverbyn Sky Tip - a huge mound of sand and byproducts of china clay mining, otherwise known as a conical tip. A local landmark and visible on the skyline in many pictures taken in the St. Austell area. Imerys installed the current metal Cornish flag a few years ago to replace the cloth efforts local people were placing up there (in hope that it would stop people climbing it - but as you can see from the path, it’s still a well-trodden route!).
Taken looking straight down. Same iris that I posted before covered with raindrops. Taken 3 days later with warmer temps, very windy so a bit OOF but had to try. Tried to get just the tips. Better ones to follow at some point so may not keep this one.
Hey! :) Don't forget my giveaway on my Facebook page! Drawing is on Monday! :D

Liverpool Corporation Bedford Tipper Fleet 1958 assorted well used Bedford O types and one then brand new Bedford D type
When I arrived at the tip unloading was well underway. The sun was unfortunately all wrong for this shot but I took a couple anyway. 33019 would return to Hoo Junction as 7T57.
I am very grateful to Adrian Nicholls (Marra Man) for supplying much of the background information for this working.

This 1960 Foden S20 tipper lorry is owned by a well-known Cheshire based Foden enthusiast. It is seen here in the sunshine at Stoke City Football Club's Britannia Stadium in Stoke-on-Trent where it was exhibited at the annual POPS vintage vehicle rally.
Unfortunately this example has it's wings closed, so this is showing the splendid camouflage to the underside. The Orange tip Butterfly is a true sign of spring, being one of the first species to emerge that has not overwintered as an adult. The male and female of this species are very different in appearance. The more-conspicuous male has orange tips to the forewings, that give this butterfly its name. These orange tips are absent in the female and the female is often mistaken for one of the other whites, especially the Green-veined White or Small White.
