A hot sunny day (yes we have had a few!) so decided on a shady walk through Dunskey Glen. 
We parked in the glen car park and set off towards the woods, although sunny it was also very windy picking up the dust on the track.
Bracket fungi…
…and more.
Roe Deer
She seemed reluctant to leave so think there may have been a fawn nearby
Hawthorn…

…and a Whitethroat

This Ringed Plover was making a fuss..
…we soon noticed why..

Both Port Mora and Port Kale are close together at the end of Duskey Glen and both have there own character

Walking back through the Glen
There are some amazing old trees in the glen
