It's #InternationalMountainDay and time to celebrate one of our most elusive butterflies, the Mountain Ringlet (Erebia epiphron).

Our only true montane species, found on the high altitude grassland of the Scottish Highlands and the English Lake District.

The kingfisher is becoming something of a celeb @TheBotanics @rbgenature #rbgehort @GreenerScotland

I don't normally take photos of the mallards, but am trying out a borrowed camera, so fired off some shots, and this chap looks rather handsome. I think he's been getting posing tips from the kingfisher. #rbgenature

@mhagdorn @Sybalan @BenmoreBotGdn They sure do brighten up pathways! And any plant that supports a moth species is a winner in our book!

@rbgenature @Sybalan @BenmoreBotGdn I really like the ragworts. They are bright and colourful and feed the wonderful cinnabar moths. I think they are much maligned.

@ANDREWMCKIE3 @Sybalan @BenmoreBotGdn Beautiful! And skippers too. What a treat! @savebutterflies

[RBGE Nature @rbgenature]

@Karinka52676095 @Sybalan @BenmoreBotGdn They are stunning 🌺😍🙏

@rbgenature @Sybalan @BenmoreBotGdn I love the grass of parnassus! So beautiful! 😍🌸
