Lunan Bay - Dune Insect Life

   
Lunan Bay at low tide is not a good time to look for sea ducks, divers, and as it's a bit early yet, terns. At least the sun was shining but there was just enough wind blowing to make insect photography (with a 300mm prime) difficult. I've tried to identify everything but it's not my field of knowledge, I still have to work out what is! Many id's were from a start using Google Lens.



A brief return to birds, Common Scoters flying around near low tide at Lunan Bay, but always out too far
