Title: ID please
Post by: Graham Catlow on May 29, 2023, 09:21:58 AM

Hi, I spotted this Viola(?) whilst on my walk on the Kinneil Estate in Bo’ness this morning. Have never seen one before and it seems to be the only one, certainly in this location. Admittedly it was difficult to see and there may be others that I have passed by.
