Spring is in the air
Having had a very long and cold winter spring is finally here and along with it the start of a busy season. At Midcoul the ground is being prepared ready for sowing.
This means that the fields are being ridged up, destoned and the carrot beds are being prepared, ready for the new season.
One of the joys of spring is the lambing which is now well underway with a number of new lambs prancing and leaping and generally enjoying the better weather with few jealous onlookers envious of the luscious long grass.
Unfortunately for the lambs they were being brought in to have their tails banded and the males castrated. Brian and Kirsty are hard at work in the lambing pen doing the necessary, ouch !!.
On another exciting note we are delighted to have a pair of swans nesting on the island in the middle of the wild life reservoir on the right of the A96 as you head for Nairn. This pair have been attracting a number of other species to the area too.
