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.
