Almondell


Ransoms/Sweet Cicely

A bright but cool day with a biting north east wind. Walked alongside river Almond in Almondell country park near East Calder south west of Edinburgh. First white butterfly spotted - a nervous Green Veined White that moved off before I could photograph. From the viaduct over the river a few swallows were moving - insects must still be in short supply though. Blackthorn blossom is very striking just now and has appeared quite suddenly, but much other vegetation seems in suspended development for mid-April.
