Small Tortoiseshell:
Meadow Brown
Had a short walk by Jaw Reservoir, yesterday. Quite a few butterflies about. These posed. A lot of ringlets, a few whites and a red admiral did not oblige.

Back to Old Kilpatrick this morning to walk to Duncolm. Notes, photos & map: walkmap
Kilpatrick Muir Flora, walk this afternoon, overcast warm with a breeze. Quite a lot of ringlets fluttering.
Goldfinch in the Grounds of Gartnavel Hospital. Patches of weeds and wildflowers paying off.
Read: Islands of Abandonment by Cal Flyn ★★★★★ 📚
The book travels to places abandoned by people & recovered to varying degrees by nature. It evokes the ‘islands’ weirdness powerfully. The last chapters go further, reaching into deep time, climate crisis & even faith. Marvellous.
Saw this guy at Ardinning this afternoon. Given his/her tail might be regrown I wonder if it the one I saw 3 years ago in the same place.
Had a walk round The Glen Douglas Trio today. Photos and notes on the walkmap
I also tried recording audio along the way to take some notes & record some thoughts.
Bright blowy day. Ringlet Butterfly or two (saw my first ringlet of year yesterday), a lone swift about the cairn. Lots of common spotted-orchids.
A father’s day walk in Glen Finlas
This Miniature Sculpture Court was pretty much hidden under a sycamore in the woodlands trust place at Overtoun. I only found it following the dry stane dyke, trying to spot a lizard. Very neatly made.
