Two Small Heath Butterflies #butterfly.
Tag: butterfly
Afternoon, Kilpatrick Braes. Very hot. Buzzards mewing & raven croaking in blue sky. Quite a lot of peacock butterflies, mostly on downy thistles. A couple of red admiral & fritillaries flying by. A few whites by the road. Heather out, braes purple. At the turn a lizard wriggled off over the grass.
I didn’t go to school yesterday instead I went for a walk along the shore:
Dreaming of lesson prep and classroom supplies.
We had a walk up to Greenside today and spotted quite a few species of butterfly.
From TR: Red Admiral; Comma; Small Tortoiseshell ; Small Heath; Map; Meadow Brown; Peacock; Another Meadow Brown; Green-veined White.
Two Butterflies on a dull dry afternoon sandwiched between a wet morning and a wet evening.

Saw this lovely comma today, according to butterfly conservation the unusual wing shape allows them to hibernate among dead leaves.
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.
Blustery and bright. Along the Kelvin, Dalsholm to the Vet School. River high & brown. Butterflies: a few ringlets & whites, a tortoiseshell. A few dippers & finally a kingfisher circled the ‘dog pool’ near Dalsholm. Bright agains the river. Lots of Flowers.
Warm and wet today, in the afternoon the sun came out as did a few Red Admiral and Ringlet butterflies round Gartnavel.
