@Birduder344 @IreneBoston2 Along the track through the woods on the left of your red circle

[David Ryves @djryves]

@Birduder344 @andymould10 Still here out and about as much as usual but not bothering with social media much these days

[David Ryves @djryves]

@andymould10 @Birduder344 1 showed at Balranald last week when it stopped raining for a while

@GlenOrioleglen Was there yesterday and couldn't find the Burnt tips in the usual place though, Turtle Dove purring and seen in flight early morning .

@dunnjons @CR_UK @macmillancancer @NHS_Shetland Great news Jon and all the best for the future, as some one who walks a similar journey I can only emphasise the importance of early diagnosis

Today is the so-called 'glorious twelfth', the start of the grouse shooting season.

Let's see how much support there is on twitter against this sick pastime.

RT if you agree this vile 'sport' has no place in Britain.

@TheDetermin8or Thanks Sean, hadn’t realised it occurred locally

[David Ryves @djryves]

Am I right in thinking this is Yellow Bird’s Nest found under beech in NE Hants.

[David Ryves @djryves]

And finally for now 4 more Scottish specialities, Dwarf Cornel, Twinflower, Field Gentian and Butterwort. A fabulous trip with lots of new to me Botanical treats still need to process more bird, dragonfly and mosses.

[David Ryves @djryves]

Some more Scottish plants, this time Wintergreens Common, Chickweed, Serrated and One-flowered.

[David Ryves @djryves]

A trip to Scotland with one intent, to see 3 Orchids I'd missed on previous visits Small White, Coralroot, Lesser Twyblade ( had seen on Exmoor) and Lady Slipper in Yorkshire 100% success.

@SmalePerry @Birduder344 ✅

[David Ryves @djryves]

@Birduder344 Glastrum Wood near Oban is always reliable and easy to find if timed right and weather reasonable early June last year never missed them in 3 visits over the years
