This has been a very trying year for many, Covid-19 is rampant throughout the World and today I hear of another variant spreading even faster !
It is only a week until the mid Winter solstice and personally have found this year to have passed very quickly, in spite of the virus effect, maybe just old age !
Today I heard from Scottish water regarding the tree debris caught on the Merryton bridge. The contractors have been informed to clear it and will do so when conditions allow.
The last spate has once again changed the riverbed and a large tree festooned with Ivy ended up in the Moat.
This tree was strangled by Ivy vines which equalled the density of the tree itself, as the photo shows. Top heavy, it was snapped like a twig when hit by the Spate ! Fortunately a Local firm, HFBC located adjacent to the Swans Island, gave a helping hand cutting up the obstruction. The Trust Thanks them!
Slim and Sue still show no signs of fledging the cygnets yet, and are content with all that they have.
Disco and her mate Donnie are also content with their lot, waiting on an end to the long dark winter nights. I tried a shot in the dark with night settings !
