A couple of views from the Cromdale walk. The day before the river was in full flood and I wasn't sure I would make it over the little wooden bridge that crosses a stream near Cromdale bridge. The ducks had abandonned the river and were all on the flooded stream instead. Only the widgeon were on the river, flying back to their resting place as the fast water carried them towards Spey Bay (the sea) at a speed I couldn't guess at.
But although the river was still fast and full yesterday, it was obviously navigable! I spooted the little boat through the trees and when I got a clear space of river, I caught him with my zoom lens. He was twirling around like a broken branch but obviously was unalarmed!
The trees are full of lichen which I believe is good food (deer, squirrels, capers) and it is very beautiful both hanging from the tree like Christmas decoration and close up, so I thought I'd share that with you.
