On a sunny Tuesday the Linwood Green Gym group made a visit to Muirshiel Country Park to do a spot of bio-recording.
The Hen harrier went that-a-way!
We saw and recorded a whole host of wildlife, enough to fill two sides of the BRISC recorder sheet!
Our checklist for the day included: Male Hen Harrier, Cuckoo, Great Tit, Chaffinch, Female Pied Flycatcher, Robin, Small Heath butterfly, small white butterfly, Azure Damselfly, Large Red Damselfly, Red Breasted Carrion Beetle, Common Spotted Orchid, Speedwell, Tormentil, and Lousewort (to name a few)
One of many.

There are also some lovely wooden sculptures in the woodlands around Muirshiel, this one couldn’t be recorded on the BRISC form but worth a mention all the same!
