12th June
Visit to Newtonairds Garden with Mum to see hostas. Spotted flycatchers nesting in boxes along outbuilding - a total chance but first sighting for years.
A few days ago a fellow train traveller pointed out a number of cinnibar moths that were eating up all the ragwort plants near the signal box. Apparently they can totally decimate an area of ragwort.
