We have got the bird feeders fully up and running now and have quite a lot of regular visitors. Here are the goldfinches working on the Nyger seeds.

We also have a group of pheasants who are regular visitors. There’s one male and a group of three light coloured females who make regular visits to the feeding station

We had a visit from our friends Elaine and David from Aberdeen and the weather and tides were suitable for getting out the kayaks even though it was still quite chilly. Here’s David negotiating the natural arch at Rumblekirn.

We have had dry, clear weather for the last two weeks and everything is drying out nicely. It’s good not to be treading mud everywhere now. There have been some really clear moonlit nights with a full moon earlier in the week. This is the moon rising over Borgue.
