Puddles and mud

The drizzle stopped about 10 so decided to get out along the beach, Goldenberry and the lower Fairlie moor downhill.

On the way up the moor a handsome cock pheasant took it in mind to trot along beside me keeping pace as I climbed very slowly up the 1 in 8 part of the road, strange behaviour, they normally dash into hiding or fly off whenever someone appears.

Spent about an hour rerouting a bit of the lower downhill away from the felled area, think it's an improvement.

Back 3pm enjoying coffee and a snack as missed lunch.
