Paddy ... deep in the undergrowth .. probably trying to get away from that 'pointy thing'!

Borders Buses expects three of these ADL Enviro's for the X62 service, and they are expected to be to a very high spec, and even include bike racks. This was the original mock-up and looks really smart.

I liked the colours....This is one of the earliest fritillaries to emerge and can be found as early as April in woodland clearings or rough hillsides with bracken.

 

It flies close to the ground, stopping regularly to feed on spring flowers such as Bugle. It can be distinguished from the Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary by the two large silver 'pearls' and row of seven outer 'pearls' on the underside hind wing, and also the red (as opposed to black) chevrons around the outer pearls and the small central spot on the hind wing.

Auntie Elk, reaching for it. I like challenging them with things like this, on this occasion the three of them circled the tree for a couple of minutes making sure it was a stick and not a snake or something else, usually then Mist sits down and waits, Paddy checks how close Auntie Elk is and whether shes desiring it more than him (he doesn't want to expose himself to attack!) ..and if shes far enough away will just grab it (hes the tallest of the three), on this occasional Elk had the honours

The Elk in her natural habitat it would seem!

2nd one from a visit to Smailholm Tower, Scottish Borders, a few weeks ago. Waited for a gap in the heavy clouds to allow the sun to light up the tower.

Thanks for viewing and for any comments / faves.

.. anyone guess from the 'travels' what that's looking towards?

Abbotsford is the house built and lived in by Sir Walter Scott, the 19th century novelist, and author of timeless classics such as Waverley, Rob Roy, Ivanhoe and The Lady of the Lake. In 1811 Sir Walter bought the property which was to become Abbotsford, set in the heart of the Scottish Borders, on the banks of the River Tweed. The building of Abbotsford took six years, and was completed in 1824. William Atkinson was the chosen architect, and George Bulloch gave his advice on the furnishings, while local craftsmen carried out the work. The house was opened to the public in 1833, five months after Sir Walter's death, and has been enjoyed by visitors ever since.
