Swallows and Butterflies


It's become a regular practice during the midge plague to retire to the upper reaches of Thistle Hill and drink in the breeze and the relief it brings. Insects can also be found up there but happily less irritating ones. Painted Ladies and Peacocks have been common lately.


This morning a passing group of swallows were fattening up on the local midges before continuing southwards.
