This is one of the last places that we stopped and enjoyed views of Alpine Swifts.  An incredible view.

Earlier in the day, Michelle photographed the river valley and also our first butterfly of the day, a Tree Grayling (Neohipparchia Statilinus)

The other butterfly Michelle photographed was a Striped Grayling (Pseudotergemia Fidia) see below.  This butterfly is found on hot rocky slopes uptown 2200m.

Comments regarding identification of the above butterflies is welcome.  Source of identification; Collins Butterfly Guide of Britain and Europe.

Here are some photographs of the Juvenile Bee-Eaters.
