Golden eagle, damselflies and blue butterflies

13 September 2013. Still in Italy, in the afternoon after this morning. Many butterflies again. Near the small irrigation canal, eg, this beautiful common blue butterfly.

Beautiful damselflies as well, of the Calopteryx genus. Copper demoiselles?

A pheasant calls.

Then, a much bigger bird flying high in the sky. A juvenile golden eagle.

Pondskaters on the irrigation canal.

In Torre village, a bug on a flowering plant.

On our way back, butterflies again. Including meadow brown.

When we are nearly back, various grasshopper species.
