No walk tomorrow as I am working. Today I went out with Bill. We headed off to Druidale for our first stop

We then went to Archallagon looking for Dragonflies and Damsels. There were lots of Hawkers but, I was unable to get a shot and we saw a few Damsels, looks like we were still a bit early

We then headed south to for lunch and a wander around the Viking boat burial site

Not much of a walk today as Chris and I headed to Ballaghennie and decided to stay there as there were many Dark Green Fritillary and Heath Bee Fly on the wing

Today Dave and I headed to Glen Maye. We parked by the pub then set off down the glen

We then set off along the coast path towards Peel. It was obvious that this hasn't been walked much recently as it was quite overgrown

We stopped on Peel Hill for some lunch

We then carried on down the footpath to come out near to the Raggart and walked along the footpath back to the car before driving to Peel for ice cream

In the evening, Chris and I decided to head out to Ballaugh Beach to see if we could observe/ photograph noctilucent clouds. Unfortunately, it clouded over but we did get a sunset.
