I spent most of today walking the coastal path between Lower Largo and Dysart. The weather was initially really windy but the wind eventually abated and it stayed dry throughout. Plenty of fungi were showing along the route, although nothing really unusual. Higher plants included Blackthorn, Buckthorn and Hawthorn in berry and plenty of apple trees in fruit. Bird highlights consisted of Jay, Skylark, Sparrowhawk, Gannet and two Mediterranean Gulls (an adult winter and a second winter). Less welcome were single, freshly-dead Guillemot and Razorbill. Mammals consisted of Grey Seal, Harbour Seal and Rabbit. Insects were represented by a single moth caterpillar and numerous Red Admiral butterflies, most feeding on Sea Aster.
