Ramble at Kilchiaran, 24th August 2012

There were only three of us for today's ramble, but what a glorious day for it! Ann and Olivia are two of our newest members and they spent a lot of time with us last week, both in the Centre and out. It was a pleasure to have them on the ramble today, not least because they kept spotting things. No Oystercatchers today - I think that's a record! We collected some more caterpillars for our pavilion though, which  I was very pleased about. I'm later than usual in writing this post because of difficulties with uploading photos from my computer so I may well have forgotten something! I'll add photos later. Thanks for all your enthusiasm you two!
