A Curlew resting up in the hot sun. Just before seeing this a Whimbrel which is a smaller version of a Curlew with a shorter beak flew from the river estuary, given away by its call
A male Linnet

On a warm and mostly sunny day at St Cyrus there were many Butterflies about including some I'd never identified or seen before.
Also some day flying moths and other yet to be identified species.
Unknown name but I'd guess at some kind of Soldier Beetle
Cinnabar Moth Caterpillars on Ragwort
A Dark Green Fritillary Butterfly
Same species with its wings closed
Unknown moth
Small Heath Butterfly
Small Tortoiseshell Butterfly
Also some day flying moths and other yet to be identified species.
