Pointing a camera at birds and beasties in and around Edinburgh. Photos by me, except reposts.

Walk softly and carry a big lens.
Jelly ear fungus? Although I would happily defer to David or Joanie. Or Carolyn. Or...

Yes, Ochlodes sylvanus. It was briefly on the red valerian beside the observatory building on the 17th. iRecorded. bsky.app/profile/gazi...
A large skipper made a brief appearance on Calton Hill yesterday. They can be found at Levenhall, but there are few records of them in the city. This one is early too. iRecorded.

Yes, I'm happy for you to use my photo on your website, just give me a credit (Ken Dobson).

You might also be interested in the large skipper I spotted, that's very likely a first for the hill; it was the first in iRecord. That's in an earlier post, I'm happy for you to use that too.

Thank you, Glenys. I'm glad she gave me a second chance; other landmarks didn't work as well, I think this was the Castle, St Giles and the Scott Monument.
