Ron Bury's Wildlife: Orange-tip Butterfly

Orange-tip Butterfly - Anthocaris cardamines

The Glen Afric area is on the edge of Orange-tip distribution in Scotland.

I photographed this one today at NH 30161 26109
on a Dog Violet between mixed woodland and a Spruce plantation.

I've seen a few of them this year in the Tomich area.

You can find more information about butterflies and their distribution at the
UK Butterflies
web site.

This web site is about the wildlife, particularly the mammals, of the Glen Affric National Nature Reserve area in the north west Highlands of Scotland, UK; and the equipment I use to search for them, which is chiefly trail cameras.

I provide a technical support and parts service for the Ltl Acorn range of cameras and the income from this provides for the upkeep of this site and the purchase of cameras for my own surveying.

I hope you find the site useful and informative; and please contact me if you have any questions that I haven't already covered.
