First adder of 2014 - An Socach, Braemar

First adder of 2014 - An Socach, Braemar

Postby Hill-loving lady » Tue Apr 08, 2014 7:13 pm

Nearly stood on this wee fellow on my descent down the gully after crossing the burn coming off An Socach today- he was pretty sluggish, guessing only just out of hibernation. But he made me consider my dog's safety - kept my eyes pealed for the remainder of the walk I can tell you!
