As our flight home wasn't till late afternoon, we spent the morning on the Saugue plateau above Gedre and were lucky to find several species of butterfly including the Niobe Fritillary, Scarce Copper and Blue-spot Fritillary. I also spent some time photographing an impressive pink Crab Spider and various bugs and beetles. On the way back, stopped on the river bed (Gabe de Pau) and were rewarded with the Great Banded Grayling (I was intrigued by a leaf hopper showing convergent camouflage for the bright dappled light). The journey home was not good with long delays at check-in etc and then a 1 hour wait on the tarmac at Lourdes and 1 hour of stacking at Stansted while President Trump was escorted out of Stansted Airport en route to Glasgow.
