This was MY view of Loch Preas nan Sgiathanach yesterday evening. Mum used to say that if you can see three peaks on the horizon there will be a change in the weather.
Today it is glorious, not a cloud in the sky, we have had such bad weather......
Also, I have noticed that a full moon heralds a change in the weather. It was a full moon 2 nights back.
Unfortunately I missed the best shot, the Loch had distinct contrasts of colour, I went to change the batteries on the camera and by the time I got back this was the view.
We now have an addition to the family. Charlie came up with the name "Echo"........Not that I have to repeat things........
She is 11 weeks old and very very naughty.
Yesterday I found a dead lamb. She had been sick for a while, the recent cold night must have been the final nail in the coffin. How was I going to catch the mother?.
I made a small pen in the corner of the field and placed the dead lamb in it. Made sure Echo was well away from the action on the other side of the fence and tried repeatedly to coax the ewe into the corner...After the third attempt I noticed out of the corner of my eye Echo had managed to get through the fence and was helping me.......slowly we got the ewe to the corner....Echo was brilliant she just walked to my left watching me and watching the ewe.....When the ewe got close to her dead lamb she started to stamp her foot defending the lamb.....Echo took the hint and retreated slowly......I grabbed the ewe and walked her into my trailer.
Eleven weeks old and she helped me..............One of a kind....
