A walk to Greenside Reservoir this afternoon. We saw a speckled wood, possible the last butterfly this year and a hawker dragonfly.

Half an hours drive from Glasgow. About an hours walk so far. Sun is shining, stags roaring and a raven croaks. Good start to the September weekend. No one else around.

Short walk along the pipe track at Strathblane this afternoon. Quite warm and sunny. Lots of Orange Tip butterflies & a few whites around. A few more photos on flickr.
Walking with Christine & Michael, up Troisgeach and over to Meall an Fhudair. The first cuckoo & lizards of the year. No deer or ravens, and eagle or two. Ptarmigan & Wheatear. Surprisingly dry underfoot and the lack of growth made for easier walking. walkmap
