RESTRICTED ACCESS - WEEK 9

Osprey's looking fine in the sunshine

At last there is light at the end of the tunnel. Well a glimmer of hope at least. This week the Scottish government have started Phase 1 of getting back to some kind of normality. From 28th May we can exercise freely (including mountain walking) if you live within 5 miles of the countryside. So great news. I can get back on the hills. Looking forward to that. Meanwhile it's been another great week for wildlife. Weather wise there were some beautiful evenings after cloudy, dull mornings. Toward the end of the week we had high winds and the first serious rain for some weeks.
