An early morning walk produced Ringed Plovers on the beach, Cormorants and Sandwich Terns fishing a flat-calm sea, and the coastal path studded with reds, yellows, blues and purples of the wildflowers. Reds included Wild Rose and Red Campion, yellows included Sow Thistle, Ragwort, Catsear and Silverweed, the only blue came from Harebell and purples were Thistle and Burdock. Some Red Soldier Beetles were on the Ragwort inflorescences and moths included Chimney Sweep. In the afternoon, a walk out from Stranraer produced no Scarlet Pimpernel that I could find but two Swifts were over the town around 5pm.
