Yesterday at Tarbat Ness, red admiral butterflies were everywhere; and among them was a painted lady in quite good condition - not our first this year, but we haven't seen many.
A solitary peacock was also nectaring nearby. A couple of wheatears were on the beach with pied wagtails, and our first returning turnstone was on the rocks. I spent too long trying to identify a probable grayling on the redstone cliff above the jetty - and we were caught in a real downpour. We gave up and went home.
