Sunny with a fair breeze. Dorothy even got a little burnt.
The hawthorn is starting to bud, a bit late this year I think. lots of trees getting a fair amount of leaf cover.
Ferns coming through but little bracken on the hill so far, it is just starting to shoot.

After working when most folk were on holiday today I took a quick walk round the Whangie this evening.
Dull overcast sky, but no wind and it has warmed to about 13 C

moor clouds on a dull day
Heard my first cuckoos of the year. A few grouse gobbling on the moor to the north of the Whangie, this has been planted with trees so I guess grouse will get scarcer over the next few years.

As mentioned on the Sandaig News page we have finished a new podcast for Radio Sandaig. I have learnt a lot about podcasting, audacity and managing the creation. I’ve been especially impressed by the attitude and work of the children. As soon as we finished the show they are bursting with ideas for a new one for October, I am going to make a big effort to record more of the process here.

One thing that struck me was how little equipment you need for creating a podcast. A recorder of some sort and a computer.
