I saw this golden ringed dragonfly laying eggs in a tiny hill burn today.

A group of harebell, one of my favourite flowers, out this evening in Ardinning. First I’ve seen this year.
Round the Finlas Loop, warm & cloudy.
Creagan hill flora:
Mostly grass & deer grass, sparkling with wee flowers today.
Heather both ling & bog.
Heath bedstraw, cow wheat, tormentil, bog asphodel, bog cotton. Blaeberries.
Sphagnum and many other mosses.
Yorkshire fog and other grasses.
A young looking fox, all long legs & ears, runs out of a garden across the road, doubles back from the traffic. It runs between a couple of gardens so I cross the road & keek, the fox is sitting in the border looking straight back. A quick blurry phone pic & I leave quietly.
The bit I enjoyed most, though, was the punchline at the end. “The irony”, wrote Claude, “is that by calling LLMs ‘artificial intelligence’, we’re not just mischaracterising what these systems do; we’re also impoverishing our understanding of what human intelligence actually is.
Refreshing, straightforward piece from yesterday’s Observer.
Glen Douglas, started clear, got cloudy. Warm. Lots of tiny wild flowers in the grass. 3 types of heather. Not much fauna, stonechat, a few pipets & larks, a snipe. One ringlet, lone small heath.
Didn’t get round the 3 hills, I got quite puffed going up first so just did 2.
Kilpatrick Braes. Warm & cloudy. Dozens of ringlets. Other species: photos of dark green fritillaries, small tortoiseshells & meadow browns. A few painted ladies & whites escaped me. Met a fox up the steep field. A sparrow hawk flew through the woods near the big fallen beech.
