Well at least the snow has stopped - I really do hope that this is the end of the winter weather as I have most definately had enough of it! Instead we have been replaced by some of the highest water levels I have seem this winter on the Savoch Low Ground. This has been met with disgust by our lapwings - anyone know of a supplier for snorkles for them as at the moment they will have to hold their breath for a long time if they want to hatch any eggs! Luckily we have plenty of time for both the water levels to drop and the birds to re nest.

Apart from moaning about the water level not much else has happened today. The team were out planting hedges - we are nearly there with well over 75% of the trees in and given the cold weather I am sure that we will get the rest in before they start to grow.

On the bird front the best of a very poor bunch today was two black tailed godwits - always nice to see.

Just to update on the grass front - our topper still has not re-appeared and so far have had no communication from the company who are working on it. never mind I have found another supplier of a different style machine that I will be looking at next financial year budgets allowing!
