The Lochan

A very still evening g up at the Dragonfly Lochan. Nodragonflies in evidence but fish were leaping out of the water and a merlin swooped over the mare's tails on the far side of the lochan.

The boggy margins are studded with spearwort, bog cotton and the occasional late cuckoo flower and lousewort.

The extra is a Greater Celandine growing in the old station yard at Nethy Bridge. This is the flower which was engraved on Wordsworth's gravestone in error for his unrelated favourite flower, Lesser Celandine.
