Ingoe

 Went to see a cracking Turtle Dove at Ingoe at the beginning of the month. Many thanks to the villages for being so helpful with the location of the bird, it was a pleasure to be there.

 My penultimate Scottish Blog. We had a short walk by the River Garry on our last full day in Scotland, it was partially sunny with a breeze which made for a pleasant walk and I’m pleased to say there was plenty to photograph. I have split the Blog into two because as always, I have far too many images.

Plant Bug of the Miridae family possibly Lygus pratensis. There were a few of these bugs around one particular patch of clover but not on other patches.
