While there's still plenty of snow in the hills a cloudy night and an onshore breeze has....
....cleared most of the ice from the paths at lower levels, except in stubborn spots, usually clearings, where the ground is exposed to the sky.
Over the last few days on our walks through Dunrobin woods we've seen a number of funguses. This one, hair ice, was 'blooming' cheerfully while the overnight temperatures were low, and we found some of the longest 'hairs' yet, but today it has disappeared.
We also found this, growing on a large, downed beech tree, which I've been unable to identify.
We've seen this one before, in the Beinn Bhraggie woods above Golspie Tower. It's yellow brain fungus
Tremella mesenterica, which around here seems to prefer the brighter orange version.
