Blackthorn & Wood Anemone at Loch Ardinning Yesterday
Cherry Plum Blossom in Victoria Park this evening. Lovely mild spring day.
Despite the drizzle spring seems to have arrived in the Park.
The frogs were making a racket in the wee pond, this albino stood out.
First I’ve seen on the park this year. Also note we have 8 hours between sunrise & sunset today 08:29 – 16:29.
I just donated to Pl@ntNet. It is an amazing app for identifying wild flowers. Pl@ntNet is also a amazing research and educational initiative on plant biodiversity. It is supported by donation, no ads. donate
Le Rouge et Noir (filtered) begonia
The last one is dithered greyscale.
Ardinning morn
Lots of cuckoos calling this morning, caught glimpse of a few. Lots of other birdsong. Warm, sunny the best of the day and still didn’t meet a soul. Sweet Woodruff and bluebells under the trees. It clouded over a bit, but we saw a couple of Small Heath butterflies. A jay.
We has a nice gentle stroll from Dawsholm up the River Kelvin to the vet school and Maryhill Road.
Lovely sunny day, it really feels like summer now. Plenty of butterflies out, orange tips and whites.
Bluebells in the woods along with garlic mustard and wild garlic. Everything green and lush. A few trout rising on the river. Watched a goosander fishing, and saw a heron sunning itself.
Ardinning Arrived before 8. Cloudy, a breeze sun occasionally warming. Comfrey, bluebells, bracken unrolling. Mallard ducklings, a dabchick, a woodpecker. Larks & curlews singing & calling. A couple of ravens. Trees greening, fresh beech. One or two cuckoos. Apple blossom.
