JULY 18TH - BUTTERFLIES


ENCINAS BORRACHES TRACK

This was a late morning visit to the Encinas track just south of Ronda. I didn't arrive until 11:30am because I wanted to look at butterflies and not birds so much.

It took me nearly 90 minutes to get 50 meters along the track as there was so much to look at and so many different species flitting by. The blues are a hard bunch to sort out and several species of grayling were also on the wing.

Here are a few of them:
