A few other creatures from Ordesa
We saw Chamois in several places at high altitude, including this one at the head of the Ordessa valley.
There were loads of Little Blue butterflies, so many that they were swarming almost like midges in places, and it seemed not matter how hard we tried we would inevitably stand on one. Other butterflies seen but not photgraphed included lots of Clouded Yellows, several Swallowtails and most spectacularly, a single Camberwell Beauty.
We saw quite a few lizards, most of which appeared to be Pyrenean Rock Lizards. The individual on the left was photographed at 2000m on Punta Acuta. I think that the other lizard is a Common Wall Lizard.
We also saw lots of Marmots, a few Red Squirels and a single Wild Boar.
