A family camping holiday in the foothills of the French Alps gave my quest for insects and small animals a timely boost!
Butterflies were literally everywhere with some good species seen, and the campsite and surrounding area was host to many species.
A day in the alps was good for more Butterflies plus some other good sightings.
Highlights from the campsite at Les Abrets:
Long Tailed Blue, Lesser Purple Emperor, Map, Knapweed Fritillary, Clouded Yellow, Small Heath, Red Admiral, Peacock, Swallowtail
Common, and Common Wall Lizard
Orange and 22-Spot Ladybird
Edible Dormouse.
Common, Soprano, and Kuhl's Pipistrelle,
Northern Bat
Birds around the campsite included Golden Oriole, Red-backed Shrike, Lesser-spotted Woodpecker, Pied Flycatcher
