Orange Tip (male) on Oil Seed Rape

I've seen more orange tip butterflies this year than ever before, both in the garden and in the local area. That must be a good sign. They're very difficult to photograph because they rarely settle. This one was unusual

@koalagardens @marijbar @carole_sandford @happysnaps Thank for commenting and being interested in my butterfly. I’ve seen very few of these orange tips in my life but this year I’ve seen a huge number, in the garden, out walking, visiting gardens, everywhere.
