Walked around Dunsapie Loch, Edinburgh this afternoon, as a thick, east coast "harr" blew in. Lots of flowering plants around including Yarrow, a ragwort species, Harebell, Greater Plantain, Great Willow Herb (in large clumps around the loch edge) and possible Yellow Rattle (on the drier roadside banks). Under the cliff which runs along the east side of the loch were numerous clumps of Common Knapweed, one of which had two Six-spot Burnet Moths feeding on it (see pic below).

"The grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never dried all at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls".
