Another day out with Ron
I’ve been lucky enough to spend another day with Ron Summers again today. This time Rachel and her friend CJ, both from St Andrews university, joined us. Rachel is studying how trees on the reserve can provide a map of when and where fires took place at Abernethy for her final year degree paper. Today they had a glorious chance to watch me cut wedges forth from Scots pines with a carefully wielded chainsaw.

- Loch Garton
-
- Who would live in a house like this?
-
- Not one, but two firescars (you can see where the first is charred)
-
- Ron and a wedge.
-
- Reindeer sometimes wander onto the reserve from the local reindeer farm
-
- They are fantastically cute, but not welcome visitors, as they eat the regeneration
-
- Ron uses his special reindeer communication skills to call them over to meet Rachel and CJ
-
- Looking South into Glenmore FCS estate
Life since the office 
Well they have got a lot of hard work ahead of them shortly, so they obviously need to eat as much as they can! Loved the pictures as usual, Interesting news on the Ospreys….what a nest. Thought photo looking South particularly good
