Ibiza Moths

I saw a few moths whilst over in Ibiza - mostly casual sightings of moths roosting on various walls etc, though I did see a fair few Humming-bird Hawk-moths zipping around. I didn't take the macro conversion lens, so I used the in-built macro zoom in the Lumix to get some record shots. I'd forgotten how noisy and horrible an image you get versus using the lens, but you get the gist. The first two are completely new species for me. Aside from these, I also saw Vestal and Rusty Dot Pearl.

King Crimson (n Stuff)

A fair bit to write about and from the last week, but in the meantime here's a few from yesterday afternoon ...

CORR ... shame I didn't get a great shot as it briefly settled

Wheatear - even the birds were panting in the searing heat

Cattle Egret - more panting

Very distant Greater Flamingos

The rest are various Anadalusian Wall Lizards (I think) ..
