#locharkaig — Public Fediverse posts

The superbly remote Loch Arkaig in Lochaber, said to be the hiding place of a hoard of gold coins landed by the French at Loch nan Uamh in late April 1746 in support of the (by then already failed) Jacobite rising.

Something for #FungiFriday from #LochArkaig in The #ScottishHighlands last week.

My app tells me they are #ShaggyScalycap (Pholiota Squarrosa)

We had beauty, good weather, great views, and Glas Bheinn, #LochArkaig to ourselves today. #Fionas offer some great days out.

What’s going on here this morning? It looks like this crow (or is it a raven?) is on the #osprey #nest while one of the ospreys looks on from nearby. I guess that the interloper is looking for #grubs and #insects to feed on and is thereby serving to clean the nest of #parasites. I presume that’s why its presence is being tolerated.

Within the last couple of hours, the last of the #ospreay #eggs has hatched and so this pair of parents has a full brood now. I don’t know what the chances of the last #chick are since it will lag behind the others by several days. I guess the first few days are the crucial ones.
