Saturday 26 May - Pentlands

Another lovely sunny day today with clear blue sky.  Took the car to the Pentlands and parked up at Flotterstone Inn car park.  we then walked up the glen and took one of the hill paths but the army were on the rifle range so it was pretty noisy with lots of bullets being fired.  Still, it was a nice day and we saw plenty of butterflies including some orange tips, as well as numerous birds including greylag geese, a couple of buzzards and various swifts and swallows.
Later on we met up at the picnic site with folk from the local badger group for a barbecue which was most enjoyable on this lovely day.  The highlight here was seeing a roe deer on the opposite bank of the river.
