As you know, in our birdwatching walks, we always try to enjoy butterflies and moths.
Last week, we were in a subalpine place in Picos de Europa National Park. We could find a large group of passerines: Eurasian Wheatear, Black Redstar, Rock Bunting, Blue Rock Thrush, Yellow Hammer, and surprisingly a young and marvellous 3 years old Bearded Vulture.

But furthermore, we enjoyed some good observations of typical butterflies of Picos de Europa National Park: Hipparchia Alcyone (Rock Grayling), Apatura Iris (Purple Emperator), Pyrgus malvoides (Souhtern Grizzled Skipper), Collias croceus (Common Clouded Yellow), Argynnis paphia (Silver Washed Fritilary)...etc
