Snow Survey

Otter survey today - severely hampered by deep snow!
I was somewhat flummoxed today by picking up the hire car, a 4x4, which turned out to be an automatic. Never driven a 4x4, never driven an automatic! Comfort zone- I miss you!

A clunky start, but then we were off up to the deepest darkest corners of Perthshire - where heavy snowfall threatened to block our way. So, on foot, up a wind farm site, looking for any traces of otter. Slow slow progress, ended up cold and wet, and saw nothing but "idea otter habitat"....

So nice to get home to my dads- where i was warmly welcomed by good company, a glass of vino, delviou warm food, good chat and a healthy selection of birthday cards :)

Early start for work tomorrow... So definitely taking it easy tonight.
