We woke this morning to a clearing sky and a temperature already over 10C, a dizzy height we haven't seen in ages, and by the time we set out on our walk along the coast path towards Dunrobin Castle....
....the sun was so hot on the ploughed field in the Dairy Park that it was steaming.
The sea was as still as the proverbial millpond, the sun coming and going....
....as high clouds moved across the sky. The disturbance in the water towards the bottom left of this picture is....
....a flock of over fifty eider, at times diving to feed, at times quarrelling amongst themselves as they sorted out their mates.
Spring should come quickly now with the lengthening days, and we'll see more and more of the annual returners from their winter quarters. This morning we had a first sighting of a grey wagtail in its usual place along the Golspie Burn and we also spotted....
....a pair of pied wagtails along the shore, though we did see a lone one of these a few weeks ago.
