I guess many people, especially tourists, aren't aware of this but there is a wee and rather hidden woodland walk near the RSPB reserve at Loch Gruinart. The walk itself is around one mile and it is a very sheltered walk. The entrance of the walk is the same as for the RSPB hide. Today we decided to do this walk because the wind was quite strong and it turned out to be a gorgeous walk. The Blue Bells are out now and they are at least as pretty and numerous as in the Bridgend woods. The track itself is really nice, you can find many different flowers and plants and every now and then you have beautiful views over the Gruinart Flats. I even spotted a Roe Deer! It was quite an enchanting walk as you can see for yourself from the various pictures I took.

A bit greyish and drizzly start of the morning but dry after breakfast. Went out for a walk at Dunlossit estate to Lily Loch and took some pictures of the primrose, gorse and a flowering tree. At the time of writing the sun is coming through and it looks promising for the afternoon.
