Lovely balmy weather these days.
Walking along the river yesterday afternoon, noticed that Policeman's Helmet is everywhere, and even more prolific than last year. Giant Hogweed is now in full flower, and the whole scene is one of midsummer plenty.
Noticed two Swallows hawking over the river. At least 3 Willow Warblers were singing around the park - I wonder if the males are stepping up their territorial activity in preparartion for their second broods. Flocks of young tits are everywhere, calling excitedly from dense cover.
Today there were two House Martins over the Cart at Paisley Cross and 3 Swifts screaming around the tenements next to Paisley University.

Hi Kate,
I've put a picture of Giant Hogweed on the blog. It is an amazing plant. It appears as a tiny seedling around May, grows as big as a small tree by July, then disappears by winter time. It must be one of the fastest growing plants in the world!
