Heading out into Doonhill Woods,my neighbours feeders are well patronized in this severe weather.
It's only in really bad weather that buzzards come into town.This youngster was soon shown the road by a pair of crows.He's obviously determined though,as I write this he's on the trees overlooking the Glebe.
I don't know what this wee bird is.
The frost's really taking hold now.I've read that the Caledonian Curling Club have great hopes of holding a big outside 'Bonspiel' on the Lake of Montieth this year.I've given up curling this year,but I'm sure I'll be back at some point.
The sun fairly highlights the colours.
A look into an icy Blairmount pond.
Mini icicles thaw in the midday sun.
No'one's out practising their golf swing today.
Views from South Barnkirk Hill.Prime cattle by the looks of them.
I disturbed a Heron crossing a wee burn.They leave quite a distinctive footprint (or should that be clawprint)
There are a lot of birds watching me today.
This one was making plenty of noise.
A Cairnsmore backdrop
The old railtrack at Low Knockbrex.
I know BRB stands for British Railways Board.
Don't ask me why,but there's a Microsoft Excel Worksheet from Parliament listing 4571 bridges,viaducts,walls,tunnels,piers etc. available to download from the internet.
bridges etc. list
A bit of photographic fun with a drainage pipe.
I've come across this ram who's limping.There are about 200 sheep in the field.What can you do but sympathise !
I'm back home to more birds.They're really feeling the pinch in this deep freeze.I must get some wild birdseed.
