Orange Tip butterfly
Orange Tip (Anthocharis cardamines) )

Orange Tip (Anthocharis cardamines), Strumpshaw Fen, June 2023

Although they are a common spring butterfly, I have rarely had the chance to take good photographs of an orange-tip. So, on a visit to the Devils Dyke railway cutting near Upware (Cambs), just as I was about to leave I spotted this one nectaring on sainfoin.
