I've spent the day working in the garden but was distracted at lunchtime by the arrival of a visitor - a male Orange Tip landed amongst the Daisies in the grass just a couple of feet away. I ran for my camera and he led me on a merry chase around the garden visiting Alliums and Forget-me-nots. I did not see him feeding. I think he just wanted to rest in the sunshine and since the Alliums and Daisies are white flowers, I think he was trying to camoflage himself. He stayed a long time - I gave up and went for lunch! In the afternoon I saw a brown winged butterfly pass by and then later another; think the second one may have been a Speckled Wood but that's just a guess.
