Light coloured water vole
I got this great photo today from Katy Freeman who works for Forestry Commission Scotland in Cowal & Trossachs Forest District. We did some water vole survey work for Katy last autumn down by Lochgoilhead. She is managing a water vole release programme within the Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park, using water voles rescued from a development site in Glasgow. There was a danger that the genetic base of the introduced population might get too narrow, so we arranged for her to capture some immature water voles in Glen Lochay, at a site that we found in 2007, and these will be used to breed with her captive voles to give her a wider genetic base.
We will use this photo in pole position in the water vole section of our final report. This water vole is light coloured. The Scottish population has a high proportion of black animals but many are also the brown variety and some are a grey, brown , blackish in-between colour.
Well done Katy.
Newtyle on the Tay
Here are a couple of images of boats on the Tay, to be included in main report in a short section on the Tay Ghillies Association, one of our key funders.

Comrie Bridge, Lower Lyon
This collection of 42 photographs will be inserted as eight pages of plates in our final catchment report in addition to the further 80-100 used to illustrate points in the main body of the report itself. Our catchment survey has allowed us access to these glens in all weathers and at all times of year, from the rivers right up to the high hill tops. There are lots of things going on all the time.
The images can be expanded to full screen size simply by clicking on them
