Elusive butterfly
There is a British native butterfly called the Grayling, Hipparchia semele, which is a specialist of Sand dunes, Heathland coastal cliff, you get the idea they are real sun whorshippers.
A highly camouflaged butterfly, they angle their body and wings in such a fashion that they cast little or no shadow, so against certain backgrounds they are almost impossible to see.

I was surprised to see that there were many on the wing today, (there were none noted yesterday), in the spells of warm sunshine, along the hard track which runs from the car park to the information shelter.
Also seen today were Small Blue, Marbled White and Meadow Brown along with Black-tailed Skimmer, Emperor and Common Darter, lets hope the weather is good for the Carmarthenshire Bird Club walk on Saturday....
