The snow returned this week and is still lying thickly on the higher ground although it has melted on lower ground . The mountains opposite and the high fields are covered again. It has also been very frosty at night and the freezing temperature continues throughout the day. The clear night sky allows for a good showing of the stars and the silver crescent moon reflected in the water of Loch Ness. The new fence has now been completed at the front of Aspenwood with a specially designed platform along the top for the birds and red squirrels to play on - also useful to rest a glass of wine on in the evening looking out at the view. The birds were very pleased to find their feeders back in position. Last Saturday we saw a pair of goldfinches on the nut feeders on the old fence so we will treat them to a new niger feeder - their favourite food - and will hang it on the new fence this weekend.
