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.

A catch up of April

Port Haunn

This calm weather has given me some good flying opportunities for the drone.   Easter Saturday sunset and a walk to Port Haunn on Easter Sunday - enforced time off for Farmer!

This is at Port Haunn looking at Gometra.  You can just make out the Paps of Jura in the distance.

Looking in towards Port Haunn from the Treshnish Isles side!

And then looking up towards Rum, past Dun Haunn and the Point.

Ben More looking lovely in April sunshine.

This is the Fort at Port Haunn.
