Monday 28th September A nice surprise this morning. I was moving some grass from around a clump of Stump Puffballs when this came crawling out and judging by the fresh condition it must have just emerged. Yellow-line Quaker 'Leptologia macilenta' (Dawsholm Park) #teammoth

Monday 28th September A beautiful clear morning and it certainly made a change from the overcast conditions that we're used to here in Glasgow. Here's a few shots that kick started my walk.

The train viaduct over the Kelvin Walkway/River Kelvin (Dawsholm)

Part of Dawsholm Park adjacent to the River Kelvin.

Sunday 27th September There's been a Garden Spider 'Araneus diadematus' on the outside of our kitchen window for well over a week but it's too high up to get a decent pic. So i was more than happy to find one low down on my early walk along the F&C Canal at Cadder. #spiders #arachnida

Saturday 26th September Found this Cup Fungus sp on woodchips under a Beech hedge along Garscube Rd. I'd like to think it was Toothed Cup 'Tarzetta cupularis' but this group of fungi are notoriously difficult to get to species. #fungifriends

Saturday 26th September It's been a while since i found a caterpillar, so i was pleased to happen upon this one this morning. Clouded-bordered Brindle 'Apamea crenata' : found on the footpath along Panmure Gate and judging by the colour it'll not be long before it pupates. #teammoth

Sunday 13th September After spending Saturday indoors due to the weather, i was eager to get out & about and was hoping for a productive walk. Well, the latter went out of the window with the only notable being this Triangle Plume 'Platyptilia gonodactyla' (Panmure Gate, Ruchill) #teammoth

Friday 4th September I went across the road from the caravan to get a shot of the sunset and i couldn't have timed it better as there was a Carrion Crown perched at the end of a driftwood tree trunk. Right time, right place

I wasn't going to post anything today after being so disheartened these last few days. The weather's been all over the place : heavy showers yesterday, sunny today but the wind's been gusting force 6 from the get go. Anyway here's a few pics from the previous few days.

Evening sky looking across the Firth of Forth towards Fife.

Clydeside Wild (Dean) @clydesidewild.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Tuesday 1st September Finished my early morning walk off with these, all off the seawall at Musselburgh. I think the tide times for the rest of the week and into the weekend are more favourable.

Monday 31st August First batch of pics from Port Seton/Seton Sands. Only managed a few due to the strong gusty winds and a very high tide that covered all the usual rocks that the shorebirds usually roost on. #birds
