This male Orange Tip was busy flying around when he decided to settle, this was my chance to grab a few shots before he took to the wing again.
I don't often get the chance to photograph these butterflies. They are constantly on the move and hardly ever land.
I was very lucky with this one.....except I didn't have my macro lens with me !

What I liked on this shot was the bottom tip there was just a dot of light out of a ridge that caught light just above the tip.
We don’t get many Northern Pintails in Southern Florida, so I spent a lot of time with a pair that is here visiting. A very pretty duck that I’ve found very difficult to get in flight because they don’t fly often and it’s very difficult to tell when they are about to do so. They give a lot of false tells, the male looking around as if he’s getting takeoff clearance but then goes back to feeding. One tip is to pay more attention to the female. The drake will go where she goes. (Anas acuta) (Sony a1M2, 400mm lens, f/2.8, 1/3200 second, ISO 2500)
My first Orange Tip (Female) of the season on my local patch of Woodgate Country Park Birmingham. 19th April 2021
TIPS - LOOKING CLOSE.. ON FRIDAY! You know it is not easy taking a photo of your fingers while they are holding your phone camera.
He runs (owns?) the small Mexican restaurant down the block from me. Too small to put many dining tables out on the street in front of the restaurant. So the main source of income during the Covid-19 pandemic is a takeout window from which they also serve drinks. Tips have always been appreciated. Now more than ever.

Found this male Orange tip butterfly (Anthocharis cardamines) in the garden the other week.
According to "UK Butterflies": "The Orange-tip 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. This butterfly is found throughout England, Wales and Ireland, but is somewhat-local further north and especially in Scotland. In most regions this butterfly does not form discrete colonies and wanders in every direction as it flies along hedgerows and woodland margins looking for a mate, nectar sources or foodplants. More northerly colonies are more compact and also more restricted in their movements." www.ukbutterflies.co.uk
