Anthocharis cardamines

or Orange Tip butterfly to you and me.

I was busily swinging the strimmer around some overgrown grass when this little beauty decided to land nearby. It seemed to take no notice of me photographing and only flew away when the four legged supervisor decided to walk past it.

It makes a nice change when the wildlife comes to me instead of me having to chase it.
