For rather obvious reasons, there are no photos of the Border Control, but whilst we were waiting there, we spotted a superb giant Peacock Moth. Whist gaining some strange looks form the staff, a quick run over to photograph said moth, followed by a hasty retreat back to the vehicle was apparently permissible. A stop for a tortoise rescue and then lunch in shady woodland completed the morning. Whilst having lunch we had excellent views of Woodlark and Northern Wheatear.

| Immediately we left the Border Control - a tortoise required an emergency stop to remove him from the road and to safety. |

| Driving up into the mountains, numerous marble quarries scarred the landscape. |
