6 hours of vis-migging at Riverside Nature Park and a search for Clouded Yellow butterflies on the way home.

A very windy day at Broughty Ferry brought close views of one wader species and a surprise addition to my Dundee150 list with another.

@annachorlton.bsky.socialClouded Yellow, a butterfly I hadn’t seen before, they migrate in clouds of gold and can be found along the coast. This one was in the field at Duloe. #butterfly #naturewriting
@nicwilson.bsky.socialUnruly juvenile buzzards at dinner time in today's @theguardian.com country diary by @kateblincoe.bsky.social. The adult buzzards have my wholehearted sympathy!
@ecameron.bsky.socialThis sounds good!

A 'Little' outing and a trip up the Law.
@jeffollerton.bsky.social@nicwilson.bsky.socialReturning to the old ways in today's @theguardian.com country diary by Mary Montague.
@persiflage.bsky.socialPitch black dark:
Tawny Owl shrieks;
Little Owl whoops;
Barn Owl glides;
And morning starts.

A long day of birding (Riverside Nature Park and Angus coast).
@nicwilson.bsky.socialBreaking news: snow leopard crawls through drainpipe in Somerset in today's @theguardian.com country diary by @derekniemann.bsky.social.
@dundeebirding.bsky.socialstonefactionbirding2014.blogspot.com/2026/09/1569...
An early start and an early finish.
@persiflage.bsky.socialGravity-defying leaf
twirled upwards
by an air current,
roundly ignored
by a jouncing,
rapidly chattering
Pied Wagtail o'erhead.
@nicwilson.bsky.socialStart your day with an explosion of young goldfinches in Mark Cocker's @theguardian.com country diary.
@gardeningwell.ieWell, it made it across the Atlantic. 🌱
Rather lovely to open Harrowsmith’s 50th Anniversary Almanac and find the story of our little walled garden in Stamullen inside.
Written and photographed by me. Still feels a bit surreal.
From Co. Meath to Canada. Gardens travel.

@newloosethreads.bsky.socialDark water, first leaves, drifting lily pads, and birds moving quietly through the edges of the frame. Felt like spring arriving in layers rather than all at once.

@teaintheweeds.bsky.socialTwo hours from home to stare at a similar view, only this one belongs to someone else. We leave our mountains just to go looking for a fresh perspective. Carving from peak to peak until Monday. Suddenly I feel—breathless. Ready for new challenges again.
