I'll try alpine lady-fern Athyrium distentifolium for #2 and mountain sandwort Arenaria montana for #4.

Gordon, 1, 3 and 5 are right. Sorry Ashley, 2 looks similar to your answer. The stems are yellow and have a scent. 4 is mainly a coastal plant.

Would #2 be Oreopteris limbosperma, the Lemon Scented Fern, and #4 be Minuartia verna, Spring Sandwort?

On reply 1240 I showed mistletoe in a tree near the supermarket. The tree was not old nor did it look injured. Yesterday I noticed that the tree has been cut down.

It's a damned hard life being a tree in a built-up area these days, for sure.

Maybe it was The Druids that did it? :P

I'm with Maggi on #1. Seem that Loiseleuria procumbens also goes by Kalmia procumbens.

Gordon, 3, 4, and 5 are correct. 2 is large skipper. Maggi has no.1 right. I hate name changes and prefer the common names.

Five years since this was last recorded in the area -   An Arctic Walrus is visiting Orkney.
 He spent a little time on Ronaldsay before moving to Sanday -  this photo  of him is from the Scotsman Newspaper
