This morning we had a Seil Natural History Group midweek walk to the Toad of Lorn, which is the hill in the picture above. If you can’t see the resemblance to a toad there’s no hope for you…
It was a very calm day with the sun more in than out. There were a lot of Small Heath butterflies about, also a yellow moth with black spots which wouldn’t settle long enough for a photo. We heard a Blackcap singing in the woods on Seil from across the sound.

Here’s a view of the islands to the west after gaining a little height on the mainland side of the Clachan Sound.
