Kinnaber Links, Red-necked Footman Moth

Another windy day and still not many insects active, this time I was at Kinnaber Links north of Montrose and found a few Red-necked Footman Moths, a newly emerged Cinnabar Moth, two Small Pearl Bordered Fritillaries, and more, including birds and a Roe Deer.

Insect ID checked with ObsIdentify and my book, but no guarantees!
