Read: In Ascension by Martin MacInnes ★★★★★ 📚
My goodness what an interesting book, from biology to spaceflight with climate change & corporate greed hanging over everything. Plenty of mystery, some from my own lack of knowledge some written in (or out).
Turtles:
Lifting the bulk from below, tipping forward, using the momentum of the minor collapse as a motive force, a means of going on.
Two Butterflies on a dull dry afternoon sandwiched between a wet morning and a wet evening.

I saw this golden ringed dragonfly laying eggs in a tiny hill burn today.
Stonechats having a chat at Barassie Beach yesterday evening. Plenty of butterflies about too.

A group of harebell, one of my favourite flowers, out this evening in Ardinning. First I’ve seen this year.
Read: The Lying Room by Nicki French ★★★☆☆
As readably as usual, but I didn’t really get engaged with the characters at all.
Round the Finlas Loop, warm & cloudy.
Creagan hill flora:
Mostly grass & deer grass, sparkling with wee flowers today.
Heather both ling & bog.
Heath bedstraw, cow wheat, tormentil, bog asphodel, bog cotton. Blaeberries.
Sphagnum and many other mosses.
Yorkshire fog and other grasses.
