Half dozen or so alpacas at King's Buildings this afternoon. They did not seem furious.

The alpha male llama on the Lymphoy is called Elvis. Not sure if the fluffer is called Jesse Garon

@paddyirish: "our Llamas are not expected to carry or toil, nor are they shorn of their coats, and (as we are sure you are relieved to hear) they are certainly not on the menu! They just ‘are’." - love this wee philosophical turn. Llong may they llama.

@unhurt, no drama for that llama farmer ?

Surely only a matter of time until they are the subject of a sneering editorial in the Telegraph?

Lovely kestrel hunting in the Pentlands - all orange and blue-grey, and later an itchy sheep. Some handsome cormorants too.

Un-wildlife highlight of the day: a wee black cat, almost a kitten, with white socks and soft fur. My first feline visitor in this flat. Very investigative. Whole room gone over thoroughly, everything she/he could get under was gotten under, most surfaces jumped on, and bookcase invaded. Finished up by trying to eat a cactus.

A buzzard has taken to sitting in a tree over the fence of our garden, which is surely a bit unusual in suburban Trinity?
This morning Mrs Scoosh saw it sunning itself on our lawn.Anyone else seen (sub)urban buzzards?

@Scoosh
Ten years now they are with us. Breeding on Craigmillar Hill for sure, common up the WoL into town, Arthur's Seat and so on. Braid Hills. Proving adaptable.

The cat came back.

Ohhhhh. Watch that. That's how come The King lives with us and not his 'owner'. Sticky things, cats.

Does His Highness have pets of his own? My visitor has left me with little red itchy bites on both ankles. I'm not so fond of tiny bloodsucking wildlife...

@unhurt
His Majesty travels with a retinue of courtiers and retainers if left to his own devices. Gets a dose on the back of his neck every couple of months in summer.

Scottish gamekeeper banned over alleged goshawk persecution
Three-year restriction on unnamed keeper on Philip Astor’s estate after incident with baited trap
...
It is the first time SNH has imposed a so-called general licence restriction, which bars a shooting estate or person from controlling wild birds on their land for safety or health reasons, on an individual.
The agency decided to withhold the gamekeeper’s name on data protection grounds, but it confirmed he has been banned from carrying out any wild bird control anywhere in Scotland for three years. Any infringement of the ban could mean prosecution.

The snow has melted and a bumble bee just bumbled past.

Took bike with studs out the Whang, many puddles, one a-hole I had to stop for at one puddle. Mood lifted by a pair of buzzards flying along beside me then later on at Buteland a kestrel up close too. Lot of geese doing the rounds and the new lambikins have a year before they are the din dins.
The back roads around Balerno are reduced to rivers, craters, rubble, ice and snow.

Giant brown butterfly or moth flopping around near Dobbies. Must have escaped from Butterfly World. Can't be too chuffed

Back roads in East Lothian are the same gembo. Water pouring off fields turning roads into gravel strewn streams. Underpasses flooded at Cockenzie and Dunbar. Lots of skylarks though.
