K9 by next Summer then?
Sea Campion (Silene maritima)
Lousewort (Pedicularis sylvatica)
Thrift (Armeria maritima)May Day being unseasonably cold and blustery the Wastart was blessedly deserted this afternoon and Grey Granite and Rufus thoroughly enjoyed their walk to Craig Ogston. The intrepid Rufus was excited by the wind and has developed a penchant for scrambling up rocks, reaching the top of the Round Brae from the Pitheughie side with ne'er a thought of how he was to get down again. He is considerably more agile than Grey Granite who had to assist in his descent. In his scrambling he came upon the first of the sea campions to open on the sunny south side of the Round Brae and there was a patch of thrift fully open nearby. Since Grey Granite had already found lousewort, masquerading in the bog as early orchids this was a very satisfying walk for us both.
