British Butterfly Gallery
Orange-tip
|
These pictures were taken in May 2008, when I spent a day with
my friend Roger Wasley targeting some of Gloucestershire's spring
butterflies. The Orange-Tip is fairly common butterfly but it is hard to see an Orange-tip settled as 99% of sighting are of the butterfly in flight. Indeed on the previous times that I had seen an Orange-Tip, it was always flying. |
| When these pictures were taken, it was too windy for great pictures, but I was pleased with the results all these Orange-tip were seen and photographed with varying success at several sites in the Forest of dean including Brierley and Cinderford Linear Park. |
| Update - May 2008 : I am pleased with the picture below of a female Orange-tip taken at RSPB Conway reserve in North Wales |
