Life is like a butterfly

Sharlene spotted this butterfly in the garden today and we managed to get a couple of photographs. after a little research it turns out that it's a male, Orange Tipped butterfly.

It's the first time we've seen a butterfly like this. It looks brilliant - the wings were amazingly vivid. It's a pity the photos don't do the wee guy justice.

Supposedly you don't see them too often in Scotland. Which just goes to show how smooth Newtongrange is.
