A Bath white walked me through

This Friday we went to countryside in east of Tehran. there was a dam nearby, people were fishing for leisure and weather was perfect.

It was around 10:30 in the morning and I hadn't found a butterfly when suddenly this shy Bath white emerged from nowhere:

I got excited and followed it with a distance about 5 to 6 m apart to help it to settle down and be calm a little. Nevertheless it just keep running and by that lead me to a grassless area near the lake where ground was covered with nothing but this tiny little dandelions (I'm not quite sure they are dandelion but guess they are):

After Bath white, I came across these two fritillaries:

then Hermits showed up and posed for camera:

And then this hummingbird moth (which I couldn't catch a proper photo of it and don't know even its genus) quickly came, ate and went:

Some of my friends birding records are Rock bunting, Pied wheatear, white-winged Grossbeak, Black-throated thrush (loads of them), Chukar (loads of them), Kestrel and Pallid harrier. I will link their ebird checklist here, soon.
