Orange-tip, Anthocharis cardamines
Nikon D90, Sigma 180mm lens |
On Wednesday the cloudy
conditions were perfect at the Kithurst Hill meadow. Early on I found a Small Blue in
the bowl. An Orange-tip flew along the bank by the road and
obligingly stopped for a rest. A Red Kite soared overhead at 12:15. When the sun appeared briefly a Duke of Burgundy landed
in front of me and fluttered around his territory at the north end of the
meadow. Another Small Blue flew around the meadow then a Dingy Skipper presented himself. A Green Lacewing danced under the canopy of a Sallow and three moths completed an excellent day out.
