Last Thursday I spent a few hours on one and the same field for the Orange Tips.
They were very active and shy, luckily I had the telelens with me. So I could keep some distance, while zooming in.
Here a male feeding from the Cuckoo Flower.
Handheld shot.

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.
It was really wind still yesterday, I used a 30 sec exposure here and as you can see the clouds barely moved during that time!

Back Garden - one from a couple of days ago, unfortunately I was unable to get at right angles to him.
Orange Tip Butterfly. Rushey Common.
Having finally given up on days of chasing them up and down the rides, this chap settles beside me and patiently waits for me to rummage the camera out of the rucksack.
Think there might be a moral there somewhere.
Delighted to see my first Orange-tip male Butterfly in my gdn this morning in spite of a cool wind. the underside shot was taken with a lot of zoom as it was still very mobile. Still not seeing as many butterflies as usual by this time of year & not seen any Small Tortoiseshell's, most unusual but those are reported as declining species
My first Orange tip capture this year...

I found my first Orange Tips of the year yesterday including this very fresh male. I had to be patient after spotting him settle when the clouds came over, it took 30 mins before the sun reappeared and he opened his wings and flew off a few seconds later.
April 12, 2024, Lost Maples State Natural Area TX.
The White-tipped Dove is a bit rarer than the more prevalent White-winged Doves for the area of TX where we were. This bird flew in and foraged about 10 feet from me as I was sitting on the ground watching the hummingbirds feed. I had been hearing the low single note call of the White-tipped Doves while at Lost Maples, but didn't realize that's who this was until just going through my photos and checking my bird app today! The White-winged doves have white edging along the front of their wings..
Night time is the right time. Hird Transport's Scania tipping asphalt on the A63 Castle Street Hull.
When we were discussing options for this year's autumn hiking adventure, it almost seemed like there was nothing left in northern Scandinavia that we all still wanted to explore. However, after some discussions, we realized that Finnish Lapland might be an interesting and convenient location for our regular autumn outdoor pursuits.
After conducting some research and planning, we narrowed our focus to Finland's northwest, bordering Sweden and Norway. More specifically, we honed in on the Käsivarsi Wilderness Area, which happens to be the second-largest wilderness area in Finland.
-----
Käsivarsi is somewhat atypical for Finland due to its higher elevation (Finland's highest peak, Halti (1,324m), is located in its northern tip), rugged terrain, and limited wooded areas. This combination sounded particularly attractive to us because it meant we would hike across various types of landscapes, both on and off marked trails.
Our itinerary was as follows: Kilpisjärvi/Saana mountain -> Tshahkaljärvi lake -> Siktagurajohka river -> Meekonjärvi lake including trip to Pitsusköngäs waterfall -> Porojärvi lake including ascent of Saivaara cliff -> Guhturgurajávri/Termisjärvi lakes -> Ailakkajärvi lake -> Kilpisjärvi.
