The scarlet macaws want their red back, not puce or pink but rich rubescence. They squawk and screech and growl for the people to give it back.
Just head this on the radio and looked it up.
They don’t want to be eaten.
They don’t want to be sacrificed.
They don’t want to be shot for their celestial light
and lose their teeth and eyes.

A hint that things might brighten up didn’t come to pass. Still nice to be in the hills listening to the bluster of the wind and roars of stags.

Working together on the latest BBC micro:bit
I’ve been using micro:bits for a few years now and these look like great additions, especially the sound in and out.

The illustrations on the page make the boards look gigantic.

Kilpatrick Braes 11 Oct 2020
We went for a walk over the Kilpatrick Braes to Loch Humphrey this morning. Arriving at the car part around 9am it was already pretty full. Covid has multiplied the number of people out and about.
Up the road, a bit before we turn off to the fields and braes, a fox came out, gave us a look and pogoed up the road in quite a peculiar fashion. It left a trail of wet prints that dried in a moment. There was a heron close by moving around a boggy bit of field.
A bright sunny day with a slight breeze. Up the hill what must be the last butterfly, a red admiral I think, blew past. On the moor we saw a few grouse and heard the go-back, go-back, go-back call. We hardly saw another person until we rejoined the road to the loch.
We did see a bunch of young crows dipping and diving in the uplift in a joyous fashion.
The road was pretty busy, so we returned via the muir and woods rather than the road. Now a bit busier , mostly mountain bikers.
When we got back to the car park it was overflowing, I don’t think I’ve seen the place so busy before.
