Stew Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 60mph winds and horizontal rain all morning, then around noon the rain stopped (the gales didn't) so it was time to ride. Flask and cake on board and wheee, away we go. No idea where I ended up. If anybody can tell me how to get a trip from Rever onto here that would be cool. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member keithu Posted November 2, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted November 2, 2020 Two questions: 1. Did you bring proper coffee this time? 2. Is the sheep okay? Those birds look like they were ready to move in for the coup de grace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stopped at my friend's cafe, and thrust the flask into his daughter's hand, and said 'Americano with sugar in there please' And that sheep strolled across the field , with red kites inches from it, as it strolled straight across a part of the field where a load of chicken had just been scattered. The sheep caught my eye, because it was so laid back about it all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew Posted November 2, 2020 Author Share Posted November 2, 2020 Cheers And God Bless us one and all ('in your best Uncle Scrooge accent') It is maintained by the farm, and by the RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds) They were only re-introduced to Scotland a few years ago, there was a load of info at the place, all different tag colours on their legs denoting where they originally came from (Wales, Europe ) I'm blessed that I can look out of my window, or sit in the garden and watch a few fly around the loch every day, but I'd never seen that many at once, the photos do not do any justice, there were tons of the things Interesting little side note for the North Americans. I recently made a prehistoric arrow for a musem , using a couple of red kite wing feathers that I found while wandering around the lochside. And some of the Americans went BALLISTIC with rage. BEcause it is illegal in the USA to even pick up a fallen raptor feather. I had to end up putting a disclaimer on my youtube video hhehehehe, but you can kill deer, I'm not allowed. NOT FAIR! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member keithu Posted November 2, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted November 2, 2020 I think it is legal for Native Americans to collect raptor feathers in the USA (not sure about Canada or Mexico). Maybe you can tell people it's okay because you're a Native Scot? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
