When I approached the bus stop, I stopped by this rose bush to take in the lovely delicate scents of its flowers and to admire the number of bees that were buzzing round! There were honey bees, common carder bumble bees and buff tailed bumble bees.

Sunshine at Silverknowes
I had to go to the dentist today but afterwards I had time to walk down to the Firth of Forth at Silverknowes.
It's nice to see that some of the grassland has been allowed to run a little wild so there are quite a few flowers around which you can get more of an idea of in the photo below.
I saw a few butterflies too, including two meadow browns, so I've added these into the Big Butterfly Count which is going on at the moment.

ReplyDeleteHi Jamie, there are no sand dunes or salt pans at Silverknowes, not these days anyway
ReplyDeleteI like that you capped off a visit to the dentist with a visit to this lovely place.
