Carn an Tuirc Glenshee
Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary
Managed to drag my carcass up Carn an Tuirc in Glenshee. Unfortunately misty and windy conditions defeated me in my Ptarmigan hunt.
Highlight being 4 ring ouzel and this beautiful butterfly. Think it's a Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary but happy to be corrected.
Or even "draughty"

Happy Winter Solstice to all in the northern hemisphere.
The turn of the year's tide, a pivot-point, a day of hopeβwhen the dark stops rising & after which the Sun begins its slow climb back.
A day I celebrate more than Christmas or New Year.
Fiat lux!
