10th June 2020 #30DaysWild

We walked up to the Reudle schoolhouse gate this evening to pick up the Kubota Farmer had left there when they started the hill gather on Sunday.  It was a softly cloudy and sunny evening, with a slight breeze so no midges. 

It was lovely out there, not many people walk across this bit of hill apart from us.   We saw and heard Cuckoos and Curlews, Skylarks and Snipe drumming. 

I have never seen Bogbean flowering and so we detoured to the bog in between Larach Mhor and Glag Gugaraidh to look for them.  We are a bit early for them.
