This tiny brown argus seemed a little sleepy and slow, but was determined to climb to the top of its stalk for a better view.
After a bit of an emotional and stressful week at work I think I'll take this brave butterfly's lead...onwards and upwards!
Method Statement was prepared and approved as to how to take camera and monopod safely up the scaffolding by yours truly
I think this might be an Essex skipper due to the black ends of its antennae, but it was looking dazzling in the late evening sunlight even if my ID's wrong!

Villafàfila - Province de Zamora - Espagne
Le Parc Naturel des Lagunes de Villafàfila et les zones agricoles qui l'entourent sont réputés pour l'importante concentration d'Outardes.
Mais celles-ci sont hélas assez éloignées des pistes agricoles où l'on a l'autorisation de circuler, les restrictions du Parc Naturel imposant de ne photographier que depuis les véhicules, les affûts et camouflages étant interdits.
De plus dès le matin la transparence de l'air devient rapidement problématique pour les sujets éloignés.
La qualité des prises de vues s'en ressent comme on peut le constater : détails gommés et bokeh trouble par exemple.
The Villafàfila Lagoon Nature Park and the surrounding farmland are renowned for their high concentration of bustards.
Unfortunately, however, the Bustards are so far from the farm tracks where you are allowed to travel,
The restrictions imposed by the Parc Naturel mean that photographs can only be taken from vehicles, and it is forbidden to use camouflage.
What's more, from morning onwards, the transparency of the air quickly becomes a problem for distant subjects.
As you can see, the quality of the shots suffered as a result : details were erased and bokeh blurred, for example.
L'Outarde barbue est la plus grande des outardes et probablement un des plus gros oiseaux européens volants.
Le mâle porte un plumage roux barré de noir, la tête et le cou sont gris. Des plumes en forme de moustache ornent les deux côtés du bec.
The Great Bustard is the largest of the bustards and probably one of Europe's largest flying birds.
The male has red plumage with black stripes and a grey head and neck. Moustache-like feathers adorn both sides of the beak.
Or in our case downwards and back to Horton.... This is the usual way up to Pen-Y-Ghent... but, we went the other way via plover Hill ....This is a shot looking back the way we came....
Horton in Ribblesdale Yorkshire Dales UK... August 2020
An alpine cirque beyond the top left tree-rimmed ridge was our destination. We may have overstretched ourselves a bit on this hike!
Lupinus polyphylus Lindl. Captura: Camprodon, Ripollès, Girona, Catalonia.
ENGLISH
Lupinus polyphyllus was introduced to Europe from North America by the famous explorer and plant collector David Douglas. Formerly widely grown as a striking garden plant in its own right, L. polyphyllus is one of the parents in crosses that formed the renowned Russell Hybrids, Lupinus × regalis, which became a popular garden ornamental in the UK from the late 1930s onwards.

After being pretty well holed up due to the extremely high winds we gingerly made our way through the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. The forecast was for the winds to drop around midday but there must have been a sting in the tail as it seemed to get worse. We ended up sheltered behind a remote church for around three hours, battered by the elements. Eventually the winds subsided enough for us to continue cautiously onwards.
This pano shot was taken not long afterwards to show the strength of the winds. The winds blowing the water back up the waterfalls, an amazing sight.

This is not a winter photo... it was taken last summer during my time in the mountaineering camp organized by the Alpine Club of Canada. Being the last on the rope allowed me some freedom of movement, so important in agile photography ;-)

This iconic bird has been the subject of human fascination throughout the centuries.
Arriving from April onwards, the familiar 'cuckoo' call of the male bird heralds the arrival of summer. By the end of June most have flown back to their African base.
Well-known brood parasites, they lay as many as 22 eggs in the nests of other birds, especially meadow pipits, dunnocks and reed warblers.
It is thought to have evolved to resemble the sparrow hawk. This allows it to access the nests of other birds, which mistaking it for a predator, flee from the nest.
The favourite food is hairy caterpillars
Their recent population decline makes this a Red List species.
