Orange-tips, Pearls of the Wood and a Tiger

Pearl-bordered Fritillary, Boloria euphrosyne,
flash used Canon G9 compact
On Sunday morning I visited a local butterfly site and was joined by Paul. I had seen several Orange-tips and a White of some sort before he arrived. Paul then discovered a mating pair of OTs which obligingly posed for some time.

In the afternoon I attended Neil’s BC walk at Rewell Wood. Two Pearl-bordered Fritillaries were photographed by the 43 attendees. I was pleased to have found a PBF and a Green Tiger Beetle that also attracted some attention.
