Dunrobin woods were glorious in this morning's early sunshine, the more so because the forecast hadn't been good.
Everything here has some fast growing to do in a late-starting, short summer season, so the buds on the trees are literally exploding into life, many of them....
....showing unexpected varieties of colour.
Some of the exploding isn't so welcome. The bracken is coming up apace and there are areas which will soon be smothered in it.
The highlight of our walk was a small flock of four or more bullfinches, a bird that is uncommon anywhere in the UK but is also, here, at about the northern limit of its range. They were surprisingly tame, allowing us to approach quite close, but they spoiled things by firmly keeping their backs towards us.
