Loch Glascarnoch

A quiet drive through last night finds me near a certain Met Office station. It took an hour of driving to clear the sea fog, and then dipped into it again along the Moray coast. A pack of midges is baying for blood at the car window. No sign of any deer, despite being warned that they might be down by the road. I did slow down for a lump in the road, which turned out to be a traumatised owl. Apart from some rabbits, the only other wildlife i encountered was the young chap outside Tescos 24hr Inverness, impressing his pals by shouting at shoppers and trolley-surfing.
