…the nest was originally located some twenty feet from the east bank ……and was anchored on a rock which was just breaking the surface but …… when the water level rose a little after rain the nest and occupant drifted across the Loch …… and ended up on the weed bank near the far shore with the Coot sitting ‘tight’!
… the Little Grebes who live near the boathouse have produced five chicks …… but sadly it appears the resident Swan couple have left the nest without any sign of Cygnets following them!
… and with a considerable improvement in the weather and growth of grass the lambs are outin the pastures around the Loch …… and this one posed for a photograph!Unfortunately the weather hasnt been so kind to this quite early Peacock butterflywhich although somewhat ‘battered’ still manages to fly!
After a spell of very cold and poor weather the Primroses and Primula are in full bloom …… as are the Daffodils …… whilst the Flowering Currant appears happy in amongst the Holly!
