Boherquill Ramblers: - On Sunday 22 July 2018 the Ramblers met at Mary Lynch's pub at Heathstown near Mullingar for a 9km walk out through Heathstown bog and back along the towpath of the Royal Canal. Lots of butterflies were spotted in the heat of the afternoon including
crowds of painted lady butterflies and caterpillars on the clumps of ragwort in the bog and along the Canal a heron stood motionless on a group of stones at the water's edge. The water level in the Royal Canal was unusually low, maybe as a result of the continuing drought.
Thank you to Declan Leonard who led the walk and organised the refreshments in Mary Lynch's after the walk.
