Not the first of the season, that was a couple of weekends ago, but the first to land in a convenient place in front of my phone which, in this day and age, is often all that matters πŸ˜‰πŸ™‚

The green shoots of this year poking through the brown remnants of last year πŸ¦‹

A lovely view from Alva Glen, once the short climb out of the gorge is complete. Although it was a hazy day you can see all the way to the winding in the distance beyond the plains and Alloa.

A super little walk, easy parking, sculpture trail and informative boards about the heritage of the area.... more details here

Another one from Dam in

I saw the lone black swan swimming against the flow of white swans... 🦒

You can project your own answers πŸ˜„ Strong-willed? Independent spirit? Segregation? Isolation?

Or something more mundane... πŸ€”πŸ˜„

Careful where you're standing, pooch πŸ™‚ 🐸

A toad on the road, gets a quick sniff, but the dog has never met one before and doesn't seem to have a frame of reference for them, so both happily shuffle on πŸ˜„

An amazing sight today as an eagle landed on a tree near the forest track just ahead of us and was harassed by the local corvid population. It stood its ground (well, branch).

As usual, dog lead in one hand, phone in the other so, you know....not the best photo... You'll have to use your imagination to fill in the rest πŸ˜„

...Whenever I remember to take the camera and telephoto lens I see nothing like this πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ™‚

I challenge anyone to watch a sanderling run back and forth along the shoreline and not break into a smile - even the Grinch would struggle! They’re sun fun birds πŸ–€

The weather is absolutely terrible at the minute so another one from the archive while I wait for the storms to pass!

Taken back in spring and just magical to see. Mum dad and babies in amongst the foliage, the fabulous mute swan 🦒
