We had one of our regular visits to Gibraltar Point nature reserve today. Supposedly, there were a lot of exciting birds there (Bestbeloved's description) so I took my long (and heavy) lens. Saw little of bird life but there were some interesting insects.
The first on is what appears to be a wasp of some sort drawing a spider along the sandy path.

This next one is two anonymous flying insects mating while the one on the left is also having a meal (the male, surely?).![Gibralter Point-1.jpg Gibralter Point-1.jpg](https://www.talkphotography.co.uk/data/attachments/235/235553-e8fb645ae5a933a2aaf42d065500e0c6.jpg)
The last is a Painted Lady butterfly. I have seen very few butterflies this year and those I have seen have been either large White, Peacock or Meadow Brown. Today I saw this Painted Lady, several gatekeeper and a skipper.
