Warm and sunny today, after a damp start. Had to go to Oban for a meeting, but enjoyed the journey because of the weather. Best sightings were Eider (see top photo above), Greylag Goose and Pied Wagtail all with young, a spiralling Buzzard, a calling Cuckoo, Rabbits, Highland Cattle (above, bottom photo), loads of Red Campion, Yellow Flag Iris (above, middle), a bank of Bistort near Taynuilt, Ragged Robin and wild Lupin (beside the Alexandria bypass) and my first Foxgloves and Red Clover of the year. The road along by Loch Awe was particularly lovely with Oak trees in full leaf, Laburnum in copious flower, lots of Welsh Poppies (including an orange-flowered variety), extensive Iris beds and roadside Bugle (masquerading as Bluebells).
