The unseasonably hot weather continued today, and we sought shade alongside the River Almond for our walk. It's a lovely river, and we were lucky to get excellent views of several birds, including Grey Heron
Goosander
and most excitingly we got a great view of a Kingfisher, a bird most usually seen flying at top speed along the river, not stopping to pose like this (if you click on the photo you'll get a better view of the kingfisher!)
We also saw Grey Wagtails, Mallards and Dippers.
It was lovely also to see several Speckled Wood Butterflies, including this one

I’ll never forget the sight of a Kingfisher; the colours are so vivid. I also love watching the Dippers, which we get on our local river. Looks like a lovely walk! It’s been ridiculously hot here too!
