First Munro for a while. Cloudy but warm, clouds mostly above munro height. An Caisteal Cairn
In the Belach Bundie 4 ravens kept me entertained with a few acrobatics, croaking and making a popping sound I’d not heard before.

Hills without end.

Took a walk up to Loch Humphrey, pretty dull day and the forecast was for rain.
Lots of flowers out and I took a couple of shots using the macro lens on the iPhone. The first of meadowsweet and the second of heather.

The heather on the moor was beginning to purple up nicely.

Once I got to the loch the rain came on but not so hard I needed a jacket until I was half way to the car.

With Dorothy, the weather forecast said 11 Centigrade, but it turned out to be 8, a cold May, grey sky, cold breeze.
The Blackthorn is out, and plenty of primrose around the wee burns on the slope.

A fairly quite afternoon for a popular walk. We spent some time zigzagging through the trees.
On the way down a Raven gave us a good show of flying without flapping, soaring on the updraft.

Lovely warm, for here, evening for a walk around the Loch Ardinning Nature Reserve.

The path that has been a swamp for the last few months is starting to dry out.
The Balck Linn burn still had a fair bit of water in it.

Very quite evening, a roe was grazing in the reed near the loch, the smell of young bracken everywhere across the moor.
At the end of the walk beside the loch again there were a fair few young frogs leaving the pond and crossing the path.
