The weather brightened and it was quite nice although a little windy so I did fear that we would see nothing but there was a pair of darters ovipositing in a smallish puddle and I saw blue damselflies.
Then a Hobby flew over a lifer for Sue, Pat's sister. I photographed a Grayling (not sure I have ever seen one before).
There wasn't many birds around, wren, blackbird, blue tits, splendid Stonechat and a young Yellow Hammer.
After the morning it was a really nice walk, maybe rarer species of insect another time.

Wow still you got cool pictures of birds I've rarely seen Mike. Funny to see how different are the environment surrounding both of us ;-)
The butterfly on the first one is very well camouflaged...you did good at finding it ;)
Good shot of the Grayling Mike.
I have definitely never seen one.
Thanks for your comments Chris, Dominic and Roy.
My book says Grayling's are common but N Yorkshire records suggest not up here.
Fortunately it was flying Dominic so I was able to follow it when it landed.
It is very interesting blogging with you out in Iceland Chris, seeing the different environment and weather and how that affects what we see.
The Grayling was a nice find Mike. They are experts at camouflage.
Thanks Frank, very difficult to see on a soily surface.
