The sky to the south of the Loch is filled …

… with geese. For the last month Pinkfeet Geese in their thousands have arrived from the north on their annual autumn migration.
Now that the Barley has been harvested they feed in the stubble fields around the Loch.
As the Loch has been mainly frozen over for the last few weeks they have had to go further afield to drink after feeding.

The return of the Corby two!!

.…. the good news is the remaining two cygnets, which went ‘missing’ over two weeks ago, presumed killed, re-appeared last Monday week ‘hanging their heads in shame’! As they are not able to fly yet they had probably been walked through to Lily Loch some one hundred metres west of Corby and failed to return with their parents! So at present we are back to two surviving out of the original six!
