Starting from number one there are five new photographs on the Photo page from Judy.
Braemar Castle . Royal Deeside. Scotland
Red Deer Stag on the shores of Loch Mullardoch. Glen Cannich.
Urquhart castle ruins. Loch Ness. We didn’t see Nessie though.
Old Packhorse Bridge, Carrbridge. Speyside.
The Bullers of Buchan. Near Peterhead Morayshire. The word “Bullers ” is believed to stem from “Boilers” referring to the sea rushing in through the hole and Swirling around or bubbling up in a “Boiler Like ” way. The cliffs were teeming with birdlife, all swooping ,squarking and busy nesting. Judy.
The Geese were all gone this morning. Where I can only guess, as I saw two Goose feathers in an area around the Lake that the Geese would have been unable to get to. How they all managed to have been killed, which I can only assume that they have, I cant understand, in one go by a Fox when they had the whole of Lake to take refuge. There is a very remote chance that they have gone back to where ever that they came from, that I believe was some where in the over grown pond area at the far end of the Lake, but I very much doubt it.
The Kingfisher has been fishing from the branch a few times today. Some time this week we hope to get the time to put in another branch in the Lake in a different area, a bit closer to the Lake bank where it is shallower. The water is always warmer in the shallow places where the smaller Fish will bask in the sun. We may then see the Kingfisher catch a meal.
