There was a good turnout
with 11 of us joining in.

| Amanita, probably not muscaria. |
 |
| Looks like an Amanita. Not one Steve would want to eat! |
A few showers and a bit of a scramble through what came to be known as "Fairy" wood failed to put us off.
There were plenty of wild flowers
 |
| Marsh Woundwort (Stachys palustris) |
(and garden escapees!)
 |
| ?Common Blue butterfly - Polyommatus icarus |
 |
| Scotch Argus (Erebia aethiops) |
and a number of butterflies
as well as a ladybird.
 |
| ?Common Carder bee (Bombus pascuorum) |
 |
| Honey bey? |
We also spotted a few gannets at lunchtime.
One of the big surprises of the day was the elephant.
After the walk we enjoyed coffee and a good chat at Cafe Sia in Broadford.
A good day out all round.
