On the way into the pool, we saw a number of patches of Sundew
Though it wasn't sunny it was warm and there were Black Darters and Emerald Damselflies but, no hawkers. We did see a Shield Bug which I think is Spiked.

This morning when Dave arrived, he told me he had bought a macro lens. We headed off and parked by the Eary Dam and walked into Archallagan, past the Cornelly Mines.

This morning Chris and I headed to the fire pool at Archallagan for Dragonflies and Damselflies and also sundew.
We later went to Ballaghennie but, the weather was turning against us.
Later in the evening, as Top Gear finished, we looked out of the window to see a colourful sky. There was then a mad rush to grab cameras, keys etc. to get some pictures before it faded

Today Dave and I started by walking from Ballaugh to Glen Dhoo. We saw a couple of Hen Harriers in the valley so, did not go much beyond the cottage for fear of disturbing them. No pictures unfortunately as we didn't have any big lenses with us
On our return to the car, we walked down to the fire pools to see if the Dragonflies were about. Though they were flying, I didn't manage any pictures worth keeping. We then went to Glen Helen as, we had heard it had partly re-opened. This is true but, only as far as the first bridge.
Next stop, the wildlife garden at St Johns then down the road to the nature area opposite the saw mill. This area was good for butterflies, especially the area with buddleias by the shooting range.
