A few large white butterflies were flying in the flower patch, though they were camerashy! I recorded these butterflies in the Big Butterfly Count which is continuing until 12 August.
It's ridiculously hot now though. It's astonishing how many media reports about the heatwave don't even mention climate change, when extreme weather conditions are one of the predicted results of climate change and this is certainly extreme weather for Scotland. There's a good article about media attitudes to Climate Change on the Business Green blog here.
Hello, looks like a pretty place for a walk. I love the view of the water and the flowers.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Happy Thursday, enjoy your day!
I think it is not hot enough (from various temperature reports for your area I have seen) to get overly excited - compared to years past. But hot enough, I am sure!!
ReplyDeleteHi Rabbits Guy - this is the hottest it's been since 1976 and the longest hot dry spell for a very long time. Today was hotter than yesterday.
ReplyDeleteEileen - it's a very pretty walk yes.
I'm glad you are participating in the butterfly count. Sorry it's so hot!
