Machair splendour! Part I

With a 'reasonable' forecast we headed out to Traigh Iar and Traigh Ear, the peninsular just north of Solas. A nice round walk with spectacular machair flowers ...and we almost stayed dry! 

The walk begins by at the back of Traigh Ear where there is a small carpark.

It then heads to the dunes...with the usual abandoned vehicles and implements.

The Primroses were spectacular - up above; a White-tailed Sea Eagle.


A Moss Carder Bee disappearing down its hole.

Painted Lady.

Some colourful Bird's-foot Trefoil.

Fields of flowers...



Primroses on the uncultivated grassland adjacent to the field of Mountain Pansies, Stork's-bill sp and Daisies ...in amongst stubble.

Also in the field...Rue-leaved Saxifrage. 

Garden Tiger Moth caterpillar.
To be continued.....
