Back to birds, back to reality


An unscheduled walk down to Buddon Ness today to pass some time while waiting for Olive's hairdresser to work her magic! I didn't know the camp was open till I arrived and the website said there was no live firing until September 7th. I hoped to find a variety of butterflies, but in truth and despite what seemed to be good conditions I think I only saw five and only common species.
Later I had more than five butterflies in one buddleia bush in my garden!

my disco wrestling days were over by 1989 when this was released. yes it was more like wrestling than dancing!
