Not exactly pond dipping ....

..... more a spot of loch cleaning as bits of rubbish were removed from the water.

The water sports area has been given a spring clean, the landing stages for the yachts have been power washed and all is now ready for the sailing season to begin.

I spotted my first family of Greylag goslings making their way across the loch accompanied not only by their parents but also by other members of the extended Greylag family.
