This morning Dave and I decided to have a day looking for Dragonflies and Butterflies so, first stop was Ballaugh Glen in the hopes of some pictures. However, when we got there, the sun went behind a cloud and stayed there. We saw a number of Damselflies and one Hawker but the horseflies were very evident so we soon left.

Our next stop was Ramsey Harbour to see if the Little Egret was still present. It was

Next stop, Ballaglass in search of Butterflies

Over lunch, we discussed options and decided to head to Laxey. There was lots of Buddleia there, surely that would have Butterflies on it?

In the evening, Chris and I headed back out to Ballaghennie. I saw a spider wrapping it's prey (a soldier beetle) in silk but, didn't manage a picture.
