Exploring

Today's walk was less adventurous than yesterday's but rewarding in its own way.  I headed over to the Black Spout Woods after lunch planning to take one of my usual routes but instead followed a path along the Kinnaird Burn which  I had never taken before . It was rather lovely with much of the ground covered by wood anemones. 

We seem to be attracting quite a lot of birds in the garden -  the usual blackbirds, robins and jackdaws were  joined briefly last night by two goldfinches who appeared just outside the kitchen window as I making tea. Lovely to see so close.
