Greenside track this afternoon. The weather ranged from almost dry through smirr, drizzle, to quite heavy rain. Quite dull and dark, brightened by lots of wild flowers. Including 3 species of orchid. #blookstrolling #bloomscrolling
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.

Walk to Greenside: cuckoos calling & cuckoo flowers. Lots of green, lots of singing birds hiding in the green. The Sun came out and so did green veined whites & orange tip butterflies. plenty of Goldfinches.
A damp drizzly day, took a #bloomstroll around Gartnavel hospital grounds. #bloomscrolling. A lot of bird song, everything ‘misty wet with rain’.
On the path to Greenside Reservoir. Lots of butterfly around. Also a weasel just to the side of the path, on hind legs, upright looking at us, disappeared down a vole tunnel in the grass. #butterflies #nature
