Air and water

I have had a few opportunities to fly the drone!

It was too windy to fly it the evening we watched Bottlenose dolphins just off the shore below the Treshnish Cottages.   I was willing them to come closer to the shore but they eventually headed further out.

Calgary always looks beautiful but especially on a sunny day.

This is an area of natural regeneration woodland between the Black Park and Scoma, which has been fenced off from livestock for 10 years now.    The trees have been slow to establish but it is exciting to see that they are growing now.  We did plant some native broadleaf trees as we were concerned that perhaps we were mistaken in thinking there would be a seed source here.

Dolphins at our feet

The early morning light was beautiful this morning. 

It was utterly magical to find our view was enhanced by the sighting (by Daughter) of a small pod of Bottlenose Dolphins!

It would have helped to have had a longer lens.

Lots of folk were enjoying their antics in the water.

Finally they left us to get on with the day. Meetings resumed and finished and emails answered in the office.

Out to check on the Point for a potentially misplaced ewe.  And perhaps catch another sighting of the bottlenose dolphins.

The glorious day didnt stop there. A buzzard posed in the Black Park.  And we had a brief beach moment at Calgary as the sun was beginning to set.

And remember it is still only September...
