A glorious day here in West Central Scotland prompted an afternoon drive to Aberfoyle. Highlight of the trip up was a Grey Heron flying at great height north of Killearn. The walk from Aberfoyle to David Marshall Lodge passed through Birch woods alive with Chaffinches, Robins, Blue Tits and Great Tits (the latter three in song). However the pond at DML was quiet with only two Mallards. Highlights of the drive home were huge flocks of geese on the mosses each side of the A81 and a flat-calm Clyde viewed from the Erskine Bridge.
News from the web is of the first butterflies of the year - a Small Tortoiseshell near Girvan, Ayrshire and a Peacock at Corsewall Point, Wigtonshire [also a Ruby Tiger (moth) larva in Ayrshire].
