Rocking Robin (& Friends)
Squirrel Rock has become a real hive of activity, day and night, with sightings of chaffinch, jays and robins! They look to have figured out the time of day that the nuts are replenished with many of our feathered friends there and waiting.
The Reserve is alive with the sound of music
We had great fun with a visit from Grant MacLeod, the Munro Bagpiper. He has been working his way through the Scottish munros playing his bagpipes and this month he stopped by to visit our Glencoe Reserve. A video is coming soon of his time with us and we will be sure to share it with you all to enjoy!
Clip of the Month: The Thieving Pine Marten
Take a watch of this thieving, but very clever, Pine Marten! He is able to unscrew the fatball bird feeder and steal the contents, all in one go, rather than nibble of little pieces through the wire cage! Yet another instance of the animals outsmarting us!
