Part One: Nature first!

First off a big thank you to my friend for sharing the location of this species the Marbled White as shown below. Not a rare species as such but quite rare in our region in Staffordshire. That sharing of knowledge is a trust between us both knowing that in todays world of social media we have to think carefully when giving information out so that could put the area at risk by people not caring about nature and the environment as we passionately do. These areas are continually put at risk by many different factors. It’s important that, yes we all want access to enjoy the beauty of the environment but at the same time we need to respect the habitat and wildlife when doing so so that this beauty continues to thrive for the future. Here are a few of my tips for methods I used for these shots that I think served me to get a nice photograph causing as less disturbance as possible to the environment. (cont. below the images)

P1st step was to travel with someone with knowledge of the area and location of the subject. That enabled me to instantly find what I was looking for without taking hours of searching.
