Two moths caught asleep in the daytime. This one was in short grass on a seaside hill.

This one, with cryptic camouflage, was in a privet hedge.

This slemder beetle seems to prefer the flowers of umbellifers, or perhaps that is where I spot them because of the colour contrast.

The light has emphasised the darker colour of the facial feathers of these jackdaws.

Mayflies can be seen all summer, despite the name. This one was resting on a railing by the river Exe.

Lichens and mosses growing on a rock-face pointing directly out to sea.

A painted lady butterfly which rested obligingly by the side of the South-West Coastal Path.
