Kilpatrick Braes First for a while the lockdown crowds seem to have gone.
Lots of flora: yarrow, thyme & ladies bedstraw in the fields. Bell heather, heath bedstraw & tormentil on the moor. First Blaeberries Lots of Ringlets, a few fritillaries when the sun appeared.
Kilpatrick – Loch Humphrey: A bright sunny day, little breeze & hardly a cloud.
Hawthorn in full flower. A woodpecker flitting.
Cuckoos calling & couple seen in the distance. Plenty of butterflies.
Trees in leaf, just the ash lagging. Bracken & ferns unfurling.

Went for a short walk round the Kilpatrick Muir this morn. Arrive at sunrise and the car park already full. When we got back about 11:30 the place was hotching. Cars on pavements and verges. This time last year I’d have felt crowded if there has been a handful of cars.
