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.

Warm and wet today, in the afternoon the sun came out as did a few Red Admiral and Ringlet butterflies round Gartnavel.
Barassie, lots of small whites (on wild radish) & small tortoiseshells( sea rocket) along the shore. The Tortoiseshells zooming along. Some heading quite directly out over the beach. Watch a couple of common blues circling around never settling. Hot day veering to muggy.
I met this snail this morning. I am wondering why its trail is ‘dotted’? Was it hopping;-)
It looked like it was going to rain this afternoon, so we had a quick walk up to Jaw Reservoir. Plenty of small heath butterflies about. Lots of foxgloves and plenty of bird song. A whinchat in a dead larch near the water.

Walked up to Greenside reservoir this afternoon. Still bright, but light grey coverage and a bit of a cool breeze, felt like rain on its way. First fritillary I’ve photographed this year. there were a few feeding on Fox & Cubs, colour match meant I nearly missed them.
