I should have said "Quack Commandoes" it is a local sheep farmer near to were we are staying. He does displays in Aberfoyle by the Scottish Wool Centre. You can Google Quack Commandoes.

Today in Pictures, A walk around the reservoirs, I bet you don't know who drinks this water.

1. Down the hill.
2. I think that tree grew in a windy environment.
3. I am about to hunt for fungi.
4. Found one.
5. Then another.
6. Back to the waterfront.
7. All around the Gorse is out.
8. Marsh Marigolds grow in wet conditions, thats why its coming through the lace-holes.
9. Down the far side, but its not the far side when I am there, the other side is now the far side, until I get there and then..........you get the gist.
10. It's warm enough for the sheep to seek out shade.

The water is pumped over the hill to Parsonage Reservoir, then onto Fishmoor waterworks, and from there into the pipes that supply Blackburn.

A selection of photos from around the farm. Was trying to capture the perfect rose! The hutch-like construction under the tree in one shot houses some strange creatures. My neighbour is breeding snails -to eat!! Looks like we're going to have a good crop of cherries too this year -still a bit green at the moment.

Red Kites at the feeding station. Not really good pics as you cannot get nearer than 50 yds or they will not come down to feed .The farmer told us that they have been feeding on the lambs afterbirth.
