Today's exercise walk took place in bright sunshine and temperatures pushing 20 degrees C. The square covered today was NS5260 (Priesthill and north Nitshill). It is mostly filled with housing but there is a stretch of railway embankment, some factory buildings and quite a large (but apparently unnamed) grass and tree-covered hill. This was the site for the best record of the walk - a large patch of several hunded flowering Cowslips. Cuckoo Flower was also common, growing on nearly every grass verge and attracting lots of Orange-tipped butterflies. Birds were unremarkable but included the three common warblers (Chiffchaff, Blackcap and Willow Warbler) which I have heard singing in nearly every square I have visited over the past two weeks.
