Insects and Ducklings enjoying the Sunshine
It's a beautiful day today and I took a walk along the John Muir Walkway at Musselburgh. Birdwatching is the usual draw to the area, but today the insects were well worth paying attention to.

When I got to the Boating Pond, I was delighted to see about 6 common blue damselflies, though only one stopped for a photo
Meanwhile the eider ducks have got ducklings

I share you love of lichens. Not only the colors, but the intricate patterns they make as they grow.
ReplyDeleteSo far, I am not seeing damsels or dragonflies, but probably will sometime this week. Our spring has been exceptionally cold.
Lovely to see the ducklings.
