Main event today was a botanical one - the appearance in the estate of millions of dandelion seeds suspended in the afternoon air. I guess the weather conditions recently - rain, then wind, then sun and perfect calm - must have been perfect for dispersal. Whatever, it made a fantastic sight (although it wont be much fun digging out the plants when they start coming up).
Took a walk along the river and noticed 5 Swallows hawking insects, followed by two gulls chasing a Sparrowhawk. Flowering plants include Garlic Mustard and Rape.
News from the web is that the Highland widlife watching festival (Highland Wild Encounters 2006) is just about to start. Based in Caithness, Sutherland and Wester Ross, highlights include guided boat trips to Hoy, Sanda and the coastline around Wick, guided walks through Invernaver / Bettyhill (for Mountain Avens, Purple Saxifrage and Scottish Primrose) and Inchnadamph (for Globeflower and Mountain Avens) and opportunities to watch Black Grouse, Puffins, Divers, Badgers, Bats and cetaceans (the latter off Strathy Point).
