My first Orange Tip (Female) of the season on my local patch of Woodgate Country Park Birmingham. 19th April 2021
The warm weather over the weekend of April 8-9 triggered a large hatch of butterflies at Burton Mere Wetlands. I noted five species - orange tip, small white, green-veined white, peacock and speckled wood with the orange tips present in very large numbers. This is one of them feeding on a green alkanet flower.
A female Orange-tip found roosting during an evening walk. A bit of a breeze made photography a challenge but a few frames came out well enough. It's been a good few weeks for this species locally.

Burnt-tip Orchids (Neotinea ustulata) on rough south facing limestone grassland in the "White" Peak District. A diminutive orchid BTOs are rare in Derbyshire and difficult to spot amongst grasses and other wildflowers.
Eastern Chipmunk.
Between 8 1/2 to 11 3/4 inches in length. Reddish brown above with a white belly. 1 white stripe bordered by 2 black stripes on sides ending at the rump. 2 white stripes on back nuch thinner than side stripes. Dark center stripe down the back. Pale facial stripes above and below the eyes. Tail brown on tip and edged with black. Prominent ears.
The Eastern Chipmunk's habitat includes open deciduous woodlands, forest edges, brushy areas, bushes and stone walls in cemeteries and around houses.
They range from southeastern Canada and the north-eastern U.S. east from North Dakota and eastern Oklahoma and south to Missisippi, northwest Carolina and Virginia.

A female orange tip resting momentarily after flitting along the cow parsley. Don't be afraid to go large.
The noisy miner is a bird in the honeyeater family, Meliphagidae, and is endemic to eastern and southeastern Australia. This miner is a grey bird, with a black head, orange-yellow beak and feet, a distinctive yellow patch behind the eye, and white tips on the tail feathers.
The Noisy Miner birds also love to feed on our Grevillea bush. While they are native to Australia, they chase most of the smaller birds away, so they are not my favourite birds.
After 2 days of 41 C temps (night time temps didn't go below 29 C), tomorrow is supposed to be around 26 C. 41 C forecast for Tuesday. Tomorrow is the first official day of Summer and if the recent heat is any indication, it will be a long hot Summer.
The flowers in my photo from yesterday are all burnt off from the heat and I am hoping that if I cut them back, they will flower again.
Burnt Tip Orchid in the unimproved limestone grassland of the Derbyshire "White" Peak District. BTOs are described as "almost extinct". in Derbyshire due mainly to loss of habitat following agricultural land improvement schemes and are limited to a handful of remote sites.
The Butterfly Place in Westford opened for the season today, as they do every Valentine's Day. I've been looking forward to visiting, and made sure to stop by before school vacation brings big crowds next week.
After watching a reel on Instagram with some tips on how to create artistic photography I decided to try some waterdroplet art.
After many attempts, I finally got an image I was pleased with.
The best result was using the macro lens on my phone.
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.
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.
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.
En una fresca y nublada mañana de marzo, buscando a las Callophrys Rubí, que no aparecieron, encontré a este pequeño escarabajo, que me sirvió para matar el gusanillo macrero, desconozco la especie a la que pertenece..
Ya volveré con mejor tiempo en busca de las Rubí.
Decided to take a trip up north to Dorrigo , NSW, and visited Dorrigo National Park. What a stunning Rainforest !!! Never photographed inside such a dense rainforest before and took the opportunity to use my flash and flash extender {MagMod) for the very first time. So glad I did otherwise I wouldn't have been able to capture this little Robin hand holding my 80-400mm lens. Still feel I have a lot more to learn about using flash extenders especially in rainforest's but the results I got with this image I was happy with. Any hints and tips using flash and flash extenders especially in rainforests truly appreciated.
