Saw this a while back now , 10/04/2019 in fact and it was at Warnham Nature Reserve . At the time I was not aware of the type of butterfly but have now read up and it seems it is a herald of spring - so always good to see !
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.
Anthocharis cardamines ssp. cardamines
The species was first defined in Linnaeus (1758) as shown here (type locality: Sweden). The nominate subspecies has not been recorded in the British Isles.
Anthocharis cardamines ssp. britannica
This subspecies was first defined in Verity (1908) (type locality: England).
This subspecies is found throughout the British Isles, with the exception of Ireland and the Isle of Man. Williams (1916) disagrees with a particular aspect of the definition: "The extension of the black apical markings to the anal angle, however, is surely not so common in British specimens as to justify its use as a character differentiating British from continental specimens. I have only two specimens agreeing exactly with the description".

Hull Strawberries
Use a straw to hull strawberries (it’s fate!). Press a straw through the bottom of a strawberry until it breaks through the top and takes the hull—the white part of the center of the berry—with it. Remove any remaining leaves with your fingers.

Loved the sunlight catching the tips of the antlers on this one. Early morning yesterday, Bushey Park - so many idiots around so we didn't stay long - brought the numbers down!!! lol Seriously some people haven't got a clue how to behave with a camera in their hand!!!
This is a re-edit of one of my most watched Flickr videos: "Hunting Wood Ducks with the GH4 in 4K", and includes some "never before seen" footage of the wonderful mother hen who successfully raised all ten ducklings to flying, protecting them from hawks, alligators, fox, bobcat and other predators.
I was shooting from a blind in my backyard with a camo cover over my scope, camera and head. Near the end the hen brought the babies almost directly below my blind, and I could no longer stay behind the camera and use the EVF as the scope was pointing down at such a sharp angle that I would have had to have gotten up, and would have panicked the hen and ducklings. Instead I was able to stay low behind the wall of the blind, and I reached up under the camo cover and flipped out the LCD screen and tilted it down, using the focus peaking feature to keep their ever-so-close faces in focus.
All footage was digiscoped with the camera on manual focus by focusing the scope. My digiscoping system was a Panasonic GH4 +20/1.7 mounted on a Swarovski STX85 scope using the Digidapter.

Back Garden - "sods law" - all the days I've spent over the last couple of weeks sitting ready with the camera, only to see these guys fly through without stopping, today I was actually doing something, (I was dismantling an old garden bench for renovation) my hands were covered in WD-40 and rust, when my wife told me an Orange-tip had just landed - a quick dash indoors to wash my hands, and luckily he was still on the dandelion seed head, I managed a couple of shots but as I was moving to a better position he left. Hopefully there will be more chances.

Not sure of the year, either 78, 79, or 1980. Dean Talafous, and Phil Esposito look on.
Back Garden - still seeing these multiple times every day, but haven't seen one land since this was taken. Today many Holly Blue sightings, including 2 together on a couple of occasions, but no landings, and also a Speckled Wood.
Orange Tip - Garden, Hullbridge, Essex. First two are same image cropped in portrait and landscape the third is same b/fly with different background. This little fella stayed all night and flew off in morning once warmed up.

The only other macrolepidopteran caterpillars I found yesterday: a buff-tip (Phalera bucephala Linnaeus, 1758, Notodontidae) nest on oak. These caterpillars were certainly shot a thousand times before, but I thought contributing another photo was adequate to their nice appearance.
