Buttercup Meadows

 Buttercup meadows are at their best at this time of year, particularly when the sun shines and the flowers glow in the light. Here are photos from two buttercup meadows in the Dells alongside Edinburgh's Water of Leith.

The Big Meadow Search runs 1st June to 31st August across Britain, Ireland and the Channel Islands. Any type of unimproved grassland can be included and everyone is welcome to join in. You can find out more on their website here. 

I may well do a survey of the meadow in the top photos for the Big Meadow Search. The meadow in the second photo is too marshy for me to feel comfortable wandering around in!
