Out on the farm

[RicKamila]

Went for a walk in Aberdeen and visited Doonies Rare Breeds Farm, just south of the city near Girdle Ness. Highly recommended to anyone who has an hour to spare.

You're welcome It's such a great place. Unfortunately the Clydesdale Horses down by the railway lines were so popular, I couldn't get a clear photo, that was the only downside

While you're there, the point at the lighthouse is a good place to look out for dolphins - sometimes they come right into the mouth of Aberdeen harbour.

Aye, a great spot to watch them from too is the Torry Battery. Saw them last time escorting ships in and out of the harbour.

Oh it must of been a lovely day to be out down the coast.. I'm so jealous! Nice pictures as well..
I've never been to Doonies, but I quite often go out the cliffs scrambling, and see all the animals in the surrounding fields. I once fell asleep leaning against a fence post on a sunny day, only to awaken with a bull slobbering all over my face.. Just about kecked ma breaks!

£4 per adult, and you can buy a bucket of carrots to feed the animals for 50p. It was a perfect day weatherwise too. And all the animals are posers, they know humans = feed time Lots of baby animals there at the moment too.

Just back from the Pets Corner at Hazelhead Park. Here's some more animals we saw.

I whistled to it and it sang back at me

Spitting distance...

Best things at the park. They love the tops of their heads being patted.
