The highlight of my walk today along the sand dunes around Dungarvan Bay. A Hummingbird Hawkmoth, not native but a very welcome visitor.

It’s a terrible picture but I’m just glad I got anything to be honest.

It’s just past peak season for Bee Orchids but the Pyramidal Orchids are now also out in force on the Cunnigar now.

A Stonechat, some stonecrop, and an orchid decorated stone wall.

A few of the flowers that aren’t orchids from today’s walk in the sand dunes; sea bindweed, broomrape, yellow rattle, and common mallow.
