Snakes and Sea Eagles – Muir of Dinnet NNR

Hello out there. Hope you are all well, being able to find stuff in the supermarket (it was really bare this morning) and enjoying the oncoming spring. To be honest, I wouldn’t mind having to self-isolate for a week too … Continue reading

Strimming for Terns and a Cuddly Killer – Muir of Dinnet NNR

It has been another wind-battered week, with Dennis following in Ceira’s footsteps and lashing the reserve. Fortunately, not too much damage…I think any trees that were going to blow over or break have already done so, with all the wind … Continue reading

Short Days – Muir of Dinnet NNR

Winter Wonderland – Muir of Dinnet NNR

Brrr! It’s been another cold week…though they probably laugh at us in North America, where it’s been frighteningly cold. The snow actually disappeared on Friday and Saturday last week, in a rapid melt, but all came back again overnight on … Continue reading

So, how many times in the last week have you seen this week’s title for the blog? And does it vaguely annoy you, too? I mean, what’s so wrong with the old me? Yes, I over-indulged over the festive break. … Continue reading

Scorchio! – Muir of Dinnet NNR

Phew! It’s been hot, hot, hot this week! A little too hot at times, truth be told, for a cold- adapted northern species like myself. The temperature made it up to 30 degrees and everything is looking quite dry and … Continue reading
