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.
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.
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.
Burnt-tip Orchids / neotinea ustulata. Derbyshire. 25/05/22.
'ANOTHER TICK ON MY UK ORCHID LIST.'
It's always wonderful to see something wild for the first time and yesterday I did just that when I went to see a small colony of Burnt-tip Orchids. There were spits and spots of rain, scudding clouds and an unrelenting cold wind, but nothing took away from the joy of seeing these striking little orchids.
*They shook and quivered in the wind so photography was a bit of a challenge!
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
The rain really doused these leaves, but it was gentle enough to leave droplets on each point of the leaf.
This is one of a number of photos that I took for a web site that I designed for a local horse stable. I used this one on the Contact page .... Tipper... this happy dog always greets me when I arrive.

It was not a photo that I planned for the site, but when I saw him there looking down the lane, I took the shot... later decided to use it.

When the sun decided to shine,albeit a short time,it didn't take long for these little beauties to appear. A gorgeous male Orange Tip.
The female Orange Tip is more secretive and less conspicuous than the male. She lacks the orange wing tips, which warn of his unpalatability, and is often passed over as a Small or Green-veined White. From above, the female can be distinguished from the other whites by the isolated black spot near the front edge of the forewings and the faint pattern showing through from the underside of the hindwings.

There is beauty in simplicity and in my article at this link, I give three quick tips for creating simple yet powerful images Please feel free to read it at this link. I hope you enjoy!
This image: Namibia is not all desert and dunes. It has a vast coast line with spectacular flamingo, pelican and seal populations. There are so many flamingos that it is difficult to isolate them, but the fog this morning helped, and it created a magical, mysterious mood.
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 am reasonably pleased with this Orange-tip picture, as it shows not just the orange tips, but also the camouflage outer wing.
Cinnamon Teals are such beautiful ducks, and I've taken many shots of them, usually from such a great distance that I haven't posted any of them.
Some ducks were sleeping nearby the pond where I was shooting today, and I was pleasantly surprised to see one was a Cinnamon Teal. I wanted to get some nice shots of him swimming so I decreased my shutter speed to 1/1250 to bring out more detail in the darker colors.
But then he decided to fly. They are so fast that I didn't have time to increase my shutter speed. I just got lucky that this was in focus. He's one pretty duck!

ICM Seascape. I thought I would try a ICM image of the sea. I find these types of shot;s difficult to evaluate, as there are no guide lines. Like DOF sharpness composition.
But there you go love them or hate them here it is, I personally like them in small dosses.

Back Garden - after photographing this guy on Saturday, I watched him go to roost on the Weigela. Knowing it was going to be frosty the next morning I got up early to try to get some images with frost or dew - he was still there, but he must have been sheltered under the leaf, as I can only see the frost on the Weigela.

Small Skipper (Thymelicus sylvestris
This butterfly is known for their fast, darting flight and small size.
Skippers have uniquely hooked antennae, unlike the clubbed tips of most other butterflies.
They are important pollinators, helping many wildflowers and plants reproduce.
