Orange-tip butterfly (Anthocharis cardamines) (female), Buchanan Castle Golf Course, Drymen. I don't know how this photo turned out sharp, as the stalk of grass was swaying gently in the breeze. Olympus's in-camera image stabilisation is definitely superior to my Nikon.

Enraged seagulls swarm on a bald eagle about 200' directly above my house. The eagle could not have cared less and did not seem at all concerned.

I was delighted to find this orange tip settled with wings closed towards the end of my walk. It was in an area I do not usually visit or expect to see much.
The underside of this species is very different to other butterflies in Britain and makes the male orange tip very appealing in both ventral and dorsal views.

A prize find on an early morning search for butterflies, insects and other natural spectacles.
A close profile view revealed some precipitation on its eyes. Here, as several other butterflies seen that morning, it was basking, intent on getting a right dose of vitamin E (or warmth) in readiness for a good day of flight and flowers.
Valløy or Vallø is a peninsula by the Oslo Fjord in Slagen in Tønsberg municipality in Vestfold. The peninsula is only about 1 km long and half a km wide, and is located at the entrance to the town of Tønsberg from the east. The peninsula is small, but has nevertheless been very important in national and local industrial history. Valløy was located in the former Sem municipality, which was merged with Tønsberg in 1988.
In 1739, Vallø saltworks was established. The plant was in operation until 1860 when it was closed down. Since then came several industrial companies, including Vallø glassworks, Vallø wallpaper factory and from 1899 Scandinavia's first oil refinery. The first master of distillation was the Austrian Frantz Drtina. After only a few years, this company had problems with profitability, and in 1905 a new company, A / S Vallø Oljeraffineri, was started.
In connection with the saltworks, Valløy church was built in 1782. During the Napoleonic Wars, Valløy was equipped in 1808 with a cannon battery and coastal protection to defend the entrance to Tønsberg town and the saltworks. In the 1820s, Valløy became the port of call for Norway's first steamship, the DS «Constitutionen».
On April 24, 1945, the refinery and the island were bombed by British planes in what is later known as the bombing of Vallø. At least 52 Norwegian civilians were killed and an unknown number of German soldiers lost their lives. The refinery, which was run by Esso Norway from 1905, did not come back into operation until the early 1950s. The wallpaper factory was also rebuilt. At most, more than 500 people lived on the peninsula, but after World War II, the number dropped radically.
Valløy school was in use from 1915 to 1942.
Until 1960, oil was refined using sulfuric acid. The waste product acid stream was deposited on the east side of Vallø and has been there until Esso Norge AS in 2015 started work on removing acid stream, bleach soil and other oil residues. [1] It is estimated that around 300,000 tonnes of contaminated mass will be removed by boat or truck. The work, which is carried out by Veidekke Entreprenør AS and the Belgian company Deme Environmental Contractors (DEC). The work was completed in March 2020.

I photographed this female Orange Tip butterfly nectaring on Forget-me-nots in my garden yesterday. Females lack the orange tips to their forewings which makes them more difficult to find as they are easily overlooked as Green-veined or Small Whites. Its scientific name is Anthocharis cardamines. The first bit means "rejoicing in flowers" while cardamines is the scientific name of its other main larval foodplant; Cuckoo Flower.
