TheTamshee clan: visited the falconry centre on the A920 a few miles west of Huntly. Great one on one demonstration given by a professional team. Polly was well impressed with the 3 year old harris hawk while Robert gave the 7 year old tawny owl top marks.
The video clip is an 11 year old barn old
TheTamshee clan: headed into the Bin Forest to check out the "Peregrine Hide" at the old quarry. We were not to be disappointed, two young birds taking up open positions, with one perched on a rotten tree stump while the other sat motionless on the branch of a pine tree. Great close ups for the kids. The warden on site informed us that the peregrines stay throughout the year because there is an abundance of food. The area is also popular with Pine Martins.

TheTamshee clan: travelled North from Huntly to explore the shoreline at Cullen Bay. Sal pointed out some very interesting (to a geologist) rock formations, while the kids diced with the dangerous surf, meanwhile i kept tabs on the low flying spy plane skimming the cliff tops
