Lovely run up to Loch Earn and on to Killin.
The mirror man is back on the shores of the loch, he was removed for a few years - not sure why..
Sadly it was a grey day else he would have shone and looked even more alien like

Slowly increasing the lighting with a torch over a few nights to get better shots on the phone camera.
I would love to use my actual camera but it's got that good old shutter noise, they'd run a mile if they heard that.

When you get an itch it doesn't matter who's watching or where you are
Clearly they are more relaxed now if they take a minute to do a little break dancing

Slowly increasing the brightness of my lighting so not to spook the badgers.
I was lucky that the 2 babies came out for dinner last night
Even luckier to get a decent photo with the low light, long exposure and 2x moving targets.
Baby badgers - badglings, badglets, buppies, bittens (?)

I've been feeding a family of badgers through the years.
Recently my trap cam caught 2 youngsters & the mum coming to the garden.
I braved the freezing night air to stand and watch last night, It was so amazing to see, only one turned up but I'll try again tonight, hopefully it'll be a full turn out
The LED worked well to see what's going on

Carron Reservoir this lovely afternoon, waters sparkling as if faeries were dancing in the sunlight.

Back to drystone after a break. And it's not a bad view from the banker*. I have my Merlin Bird App on and a pair of binoculars nearby. Dreamy, really.

*A sturdy, tall table where we shape stone.

The winters sun going down behind Edinburgh castle - all very moody
