Back Garden - one from a couple of days ago, unfortunately I was unable to get at right angles to him.
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.
I first spotted this tiny mammal sitting on top of a drystone wall, looking right at me. Of course as soon as I lifted the camera it was gone but I did get a glimpse of its' tail which was short and without a black tip.( Meaning Weasel, not Stoat ).
I gave a little squeak to see if it would come out for a second look and luckily it did !
Although Willington has been flooded for months I went looking for hairy dragonflies none seen by me but a possible sighting from the hide by 2 other guys. I did see a marsh harrier, a bittern and my first damselfies for 2024 plus a few other birds.
Many thanks to you ALL for the views, faves and comments you make on my shots it is very appreciated

My first view point of the orange tip, but I carefully eased myself around to the other side for what I thought was the better view ... in comments belows.
My first attempts at playing with layers and compositing in photoshop. 3 separate images overlaid with a little shading. a bit of distortion on the edges but overall i'm pretty happy with with my first attempt.
Thanks to Gavtrain.com for the tutorials. If you haven't seen his website or youtube vids check him out, very helpful and great that some of the pros share their tips and tricks with the rest of us!
A trip to the tip at Alloa to dump off loads of rubbish from clearing out my Mum's stuff, and general decluttering provided a surprise with this young Osytercatcher chick getting shown the ropes by its parent, just by the offices
Tip
Sometimes natural light is more than enough.
So always also shoot some images with the available light it might be that you don't need the strobes ;)
Nightowls Pittock Mansion Meetup, Portland, Oregon
I met up with the Nightowls for a Moonrise at the Pittock Mansion last night. We were promised a centered Moon above the tip of Mount Hood. I got out my big lens and zoomed right on in. I've wanted this for a long time so now it's one more thing I can check off my bucket list.
Happy Friday Everybody!
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...
Oranjetipje, Anthocharis cardamines

It was worth a few nettle stings to get this shot of mating Orange Tips. The male on the left, the female on the right.
At the summit of Mount Washington, NH
The Tip-Top House is a historic former hotel in Mount Washington State Park in Sargent's Purchase, New Hampshire, United States. Built in 1853, it is the oldest surviving building in the summit area of Mount Washington, and is believed by the state to be the oldest extant mountain-top hostelry in the world. It features exhibits concerning the mountain's history.

It's taken me a long time to get a shot of a male orange tip with his wings open like this. As most of you will know they're always on the wing and rarely settled or they're found with their wings held upright when at rest. This one though obliged nicely allowing me the opportunity to take a few shots.
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..
