Golf course antics.

Great views from the living room window over the golf course. Our most recent sightings have been of a female roe deer and her faun. The first night we saw her she was chasing a fox across the greens and away from her baby. The following night the fox was strolling across the golf course, making his way to the houses presumably on the lookout for an easy meal, but not close enough to her for her to want to chase him. So, we got a lovely view of her feeding the faun and then it romping around in the long grass while mum was still around. Am looking forward to seeing them again tonight.
Other sights include a lamprey (I think) at the Cambus o' May footbridge over the Dee. Lots of leaping salmon too, be still Spinky!
Jays in the woods around Killin and Alyth. Nesting willow warblers in a mossy bank by a burn at Killin. The boys were enchanted peering into the nest to see the chicks. And, a blue tit nest in the cigarette box outside the gents toilets in Ballater's camp site (with a notice requesting not to put cigarettes into the box).
A few less heartening things too. The dead fledgling great tit that broke its neck flying into a window in Elgin. Although it gave us a chance to have a good look at its perfection! And a scruffy cat emptying a nest of collared dove chicks. At least it ate them.
