21 May 19 - Nature Walk at Leitir Fura, Kinloch Forest



Rather a damp and midgey walk at Leitir Fura forest today. 


Cut short in the end but not until we managed to make it down to the lochside next to the remote cottage that can be seen from the roadside past Kinloch Lodge. 







Not a huge amount of wildlife but walking a new trail thanks to Steve T. proved very entertaining. 



Steve is a great one to have on any walk as his skills in spotting the unusual are extraordinary.



Not long after we started we were called to see a dragonfly that has not long emerged from its exuvia which could be seen on the branch underneath it. 


 It was trying to dry itself out but as can be seen by the photos wasn't being very successful. 






However we checked again about an hour or so later and a marked change was clearly visible.

Thanks to Colin for arranging and Steve for pointing the way!
