You're so vain.

Faint heart never won fair lady, but no means NO!
The very handsome Mr Orange Tip thinks he's irresistible but this time he's wrong.
She signals her lack of interest by spreading her wings and raising her abdomen.
He chased for about 5 minutes then accepted defeat.

@koalagardens @photographycrazy @365projectorgchristine @stevejacob @fishers Thank you. Orange Tip season is just about over for another year but this year I’ve managed to capture my Favrit Fella in flight a couple of times. Thanks to my brilliant OM1 with its pro capture facility.
