Well can you?

OK what is it?

Not the best photo as I only had my phone with me.

What butterfly?

Looks like a marbled white or something along those lines.

Think rule of thirds Dave, bottom left.

A third of the way across and a third of the way up from the bottom left corner.

A cabbage white with green spots

Maybe a female Orange Tip?

Looks likely.

Well spotted Chris and yes it's an Orange tip but there's actually 2 there a male and a female. I was with a friend at Leland water and he spotted them How I'll never know, I was bu88ered if I could see them even being within inches of them. Wonderful camouflage.
I'll post a picture of the male later.

I thought it was a grizzled skipper (female)

The male Orange Tip as promised

Bet you're 'proud' of that one Dave.

They were around incredibly early this year in my area.

There seem to be lots of flutterbys around. Saw an orange tip too, and plenty of tortoiseshells.

Same down here. I can't remember seeing so many so early before. Mild winter perhaps?

Could well be, Chris.
