A walk from Braeval car park near Aberfoyle today. The weather put me off the hills. Given low cloud general dullness I took a few photos of small things.

We saw few Common Ringed Plover chicks yesterday on Barassie Beech. Given the numbers of dogs being walked along the beech I am surprised that they survive. The parent birds seem to try and draw us off, buy running along or down the shore, while the wee ones head in the other direction.
A walk along the pipe track this afternoon clear and warm. A few butterflies, whites, peacocks and a small copper.
