Orange Tip Day - Clause 17b

The heat of the past week has brought a mass emergence of Orange Tip butterflies and this morning the males were frantically patrolling the rides in the wood, looking for females. The females are easy to photograph (Clause 17b) but I've never managed to get a good photograph of a male Orange Tip. 

So here's a picture of a Peacock enjoying the Blackthorn.
