Last weekend we had a 'Highland Heatwave' with gorgeous high temperatures and sunshine galore. The rest of the week has been changeable with welcoming short showers to cool down the warm spring weather which allowed for plenty of work tidying up the garden. The birds, bees and red admiral butterflies appeared and the wild primroses were on show sprouting up on the woodland carpet and along the roadside verges.
The male pheasants have been in hot pursuit of any female in its path causing much squawking and fluttering in the nearby bushes. Guests have reported seeing the red squirrels and the great spotted woodpecker at the feeding platform during their stay in Aspenwood Cottage.
At the Osprey Centre at Loch Garten the 14 year old female-EJ and her mate Odin have started their family for the ninth year by laying one egg at 4.30am yesterday morning. Follow the action live on the webcam on their nest;- Loch Garten webcam.
In the fields near the village of Dores the lambs are enjoying their first days in the world especially in the warm sunshine although life can be rather tiring at times!
