first an animal. This fox was searching the seaweed for food and was oblivious to my presence until it heard the click of the camera.. |
A Dark Green Fritillary / aglajaperlemorvinge / Speyeria aglaja |
Large Wall Brown / klipperingvinge / Lasiommata maera |
Pearl-bordered Fritillary / rødfleket perlemorvinge / Boloria euphrosyne |
my first ever Cranberry Fritillary / myrperlemorvinge / Boloria aquilonaris |
a female Purple-edged Copper / purpurgullvinge / Lycaena hippothoe |
and the similar Small Copper / ildgullvinge / Lycaena phlaeas |
a Northern Brown Argus / sankthansblåvinge / Aricia artaxerxes |
and an Idas Blue / idasblåvinge / Plebejus idas. Identified purely on range as separation from the similar Silver-studded Blue / argusblåvinge is apparantly only possible under the microscope |
there were very few dragonflies to see but I did get a couple of new species. This is a White-faced Darter / småtorvlibelle / Leucorrhinia dubia |
and this is an Azure Hawker / fjellibelle / Aeshna caerulea |
My interest in flowers is still in its infancy although the fantastic Plantsnap App that Mrs OB has is making things a lot easier.
But, here are some flowers that were so obvious that I managed to notice and ID them (hopefully correctly) myself
this is the first time I have seen a meat eating plant away from a botanical garden. This is an English Sundew / smalsoldogg / Drosera anglica. Notice the insect that has been caught |
and here is Round-leaved Sundew / rundsoldogg / Drosera rotundifolia |
this is a Dark-red Helleborine / rødflangre / Epipactis atrorubens |
and here is what I believe is the same species in bud |
and this orchid is very easy to walk past due to the green flowers but once you have your eye can be quite numerous: Eggleaf Twayblade / stortveblad / Neottia ovata |
Laplad Marsh Orchid / lappmarihand / Dactylorhiza majalis subsp. lapponica |
and this is a Fragrant (marsh) Orchid / brudespore / Gymnadenia conopsea but there are subspecies I think so I may not be as specific as I could be |
