Crane and C. latecincta

Here are some pictures that got missed off the other post, Yesnaby is a magic place so two visits in one day was no hardship.

 Crane at Yesnaby

 Brown Hare at Yesnaby

Later in the day we went back for a walk. The sun was shining and Chrysolina latecincta was showing well, I found six in the end.

Chrysolina latecincta is an Orkney speciality. It's found just at Yesnaby, along the cliff top where the vegetation has been eroded away. There are a couple of records for Unst in Shetland and it's also been found in salt marsh at Loch Etive.

Discus rotundatus was on the beach.

 The stone fence posts are a real feature, I especially like this row on the cliff edge.


Quite pleased with this image.
