There are now 3 chick and 2 unhatched eggs in the dabchick nest in Victoria Park.
Liked: How good are Scotland’s new draft environment laws?
Walk to Loch Humphrey this morning.
Lots of ringlets.
A possible fritillary near the loch
A few whites as we came back.

On this day in 2007 I was blogging about Facebook
We have been watching a pair of dabchicks in Victoria Park pretty much every day during lockdown. Today we saw the first sign a a hatching, a wee foot coming out from under a parent’s wing.
1st post lockdown hill walk, seems walking round the park every day for 4 months might not be best prep.
Lots of flora & fauna today. Pretty delightful apart from the panting.

I am concerned that you have to have camera on. In Glow Scotland’s Teams pupils cameras are not & can’t be turned on. I think that helped some shy kids.
The Register’s take
Longest walk since the start of lockdown, not very long. Nice morning, sun and clouds, quite warm.walkmap
