We went for an evening walk to Blackford Hill on this wet soggy evening and thankfully it the torrential rain and thunderstorms from earlier had stopped although the ground was soaking wet and the braidburn was in spate!!! What a day for midsummer!
Did not spot too much as we alked through the Hermitage but as we got near Blackford glen there were a lot of swifts and swallows flying about but the highlight was seeing a young baby roe deer sheltering behind a bush in a nearby field - it looked about 2/3 months old and very cute. A buzzard also flew overhead as we climbed up the hill through the soaking wet grass. Great views as the clouds had cleared away but the midges were out in force so we beat a hasty retreat back down the hill and through the Hermitage and before we got back to the car saw a fox ambling along the path in front of us!
