Orange Tip Excitement_R5_5979
Thiscapture just shows you can never predict an outcome... I was lined up on a female Orange Tip, resting... just about to click or more precisely just as I clicked, an 'ardent' male interfered and they both disappeared... by no means the best capture but somethoing about it pleases me...and I'm still hunting my first Orange Tip for this season..
#6 The easiest capture of the afternoon.....statue still ...
