I went 1.8 miles past the 5 mile limit to travel for exercise last night. The first time since lockdown started. Celebrating the end of term. It was worth it. So many things I’ve not seen; ringlet, kestrel, buzzard, larks, snipe, foxglove, heather, bedstraw, and so much more.
Virtually retracing a walk I took this time last year, Troisgeach and Meall an Fhudair 20 Apr 2019, hills, birds, beetles, flowers and frogs. Clear skies & a day alone.
Has a walk along the pipetrack on a beautiful bright day!
Old Kilpatrick Braes. Started in thick mist. Frost picking out patterns. Emerged into the sunshine. Below Glasgow and the Clyde covered in cloud.
Walked around Ardinning at lunchtime, warm, 8 deg Celsius, low cloud and very still. Muted Colours.

This was supposed to pan across, but my clockwork egg timer has weakened and stopped after a minute. This should have gone across several of the Arrochar Alps.
Had a quick walk around the Kilpatrick moor to the Slacks Trigpoint and back. Overcast with a fairly strong breeze. Autumn seems to have started. Saw a couple of Red Admirals when the sun tried to get through.

The weather was supposed to be rainy, turned out quite breezy, lots of clouds but no rain on me.
Walked a couple of miles or so towards Firpark from Anniesland and back.
Plenty of flowers. Usual moorhens and ducks.
