Amonst the dunes an abundance of Cinnabar moth caterpillars, the larval foodplant is Ragwort and caterpillars fed communally on their foodplant. I spotted a few Cinnabar on my last visit to Druridge Bay.
The larvae need long grasses on which to pupate and produce a papery yellow cocoon.
On the walk to the hide at Druridge Pools. I was delighted to come across my first Fritillary. 
I have to admit that I was struggling to identify it until I came across this view of the underwings which I think is Dark Green Fritillary Argynnis aglaja.
Two Green Veined White, I was pleased to capture this one, note how the one on the right has its abdomen raised. A defence mechanism or mating behaviour?
A slug chomps its way through a small cap & stem fungi. 
At the end of our wander we spotted this albino rabbit in the dunes. At first we wondered how it managed to survive as it stood out like a sore thumb but maybe it is camouflaged in the sandy dunes. We saw a similar coloured rabbit in the vicinity a couple of months previous.
Down the road at Creswell, Lapwing, Mallards, a pair of Shelduck with two young, Redshank, Curlew, Grey Heron. As a small aircraft flew overhead 40 odd Lapwing took to the sky.
