Wall Lizards, living up to their name.
Yellow-bellied Toad, Bombina variegata, in a temporary pool on a mountain track. These toads have heart shaped pupils and striking yellow bellies.
A Honey Buzzard, one of several that flew over.
Black Redstarts. These birds were everywhere.
Tentative identification of a Meadow Grasshopper.
A Paper Wasp.
I think this large wasp is a species of Potter Wasp.
Black Horse Fly, thankfully just drinking from a splash from the pool.
A Knapweed Fritillary, Melitaea phoebe.
Meadow Fritillary, Mellicta parthenoides.
A Box Tree Moth, Cydalima perspectalis. This is an invasive southeast Asian species.
Rather surprisingly, this is a Chalkhill Blue, a species I associate with the South Downs.
Another Meadow Fritillary.
A rather battered Autumn Ringlet, Erebia neoridas.
A Convolvulus Hawkmoth, Agrius convolvuli.
