Driving away from the blizzards

Come the end of the work week, dropping off the vols and driving the TFL minibus back to Findhorn, and I had to be in Dorset by the next evening.  Frankly, I’d wanted to spend the winter in Scotland, experiencing proper cold weather.  Spending time in the snow at Abernethy last winter may well have been the most memorable time of my recent life.  However, during my time at Arne, an opportunity arose to get some habitat management experience with the RSPB in North Devon.  So, the snow (there’s never Snow in North Devon, just dustings) will have to wait until next year.

Now I’m back at Arne, to learn how to use a chainsaw, before starting my RSPB placement next week.

Just to remind me of what I’m likely to be missing though, as I was driving through Glen Spean, it started to snow.  Although it wasn’t settling on the road, it looked fantastic.
