small pearl bordered fritillary on fox & cubs

Walked up to Greenside reservoir this afternoon. Still bright, but light grey coverage and a bit of a cool breeze, felt like rain on its way. First fritillary I’ve photographed this year. there were a few feeding on Fox & Cubs, colour match meant I nearly missed them.

A sedge warbler singing on top of a bush.

Barassie Beach yesterday, A Sedge Warbler singing loud and clear, IDed by Merlin, got a photo. Super song.

I am finding Merlin a lot of fun, hearing and sometimes seeing birds I would have missed or dismissed.

Likes ChatGPT Prime, “an immortal spiritual being in synthetic form” by Doug Belshaw.

While there have always been gullible adults, as a parent and educator, the real issue here is with young people.

I had never considered people would use AI as a therapist, prophet or guru!

Green Hairstreak Butterfly

Green Hairstreak. Walking from Braeval car park. Lovely sunny day. Dozens and Dozens of orange tips and Green Veined Whites, but I had my eye out for these wee guys. Eventually saw 3 and this one cooperated for a few seconds.

  • RT by @andywightman: Very concerning that woodland creation appears to have been conflated with tree planting, which is the entire focus of this press release - natural regeneration doesn't get a mention. Will the summit be the same?
