Butterfly & Rainbow

We took a walk in the woods around Dunrobin Castle after we arrived home yesterday, to find far fewer leaves on the trees compared to Glen Roy, not least because they were being stripped from the trees by a bitter west wind, the accumulating leaf litter making the search for....

....fungi very much more difficult. This, I think, is sulphur tuft, Hypholoma fasciculare: clumps of it were growing along a rotten, moss-covered log perched at the top of a steep bank above the Golspie Burn.

Today was a sunshine and showers and rainbows day, this beauty greeting us as we arrived home for a late lunch, but what caught our attention on the green fencing was....

....a very smart red admiral taking advantage of the warmth that is still to be found in direct sunshine.
