Quick pop over to Potteric

Not much to say really... Just kidding, it's Potteric Carr, there is always something to say about this place, and it is never bad!
As the summer draws on and with only a week to my first visit to Scotland, I needed to fully unwind so my holiday will be the most relaxing week on my life yet.

After the usual lunch in the reserves' tearoom (MASSIVE sausage sandwich with home cut chips), I ventured out into the wilderness that is Potteric Carr.


It's fantastic seeing all the luscious green reeds which Bitterns, reed bunting and many other birds call home.
It's such a fantastic vibrant colour!

It was like entering a small jungle when walking down this short boardwalk!


I love the fresh vivid green of spring but the greenery of mid summer is something else.
Everything is so full of life and the trees incredibly dense that it makes it all the more special when you see something emerge from the foliage.


Don't even get me started on the woodland walk! During the winter, you can see right across the woodland floor; a fleeting fox or a roe deer casually walking away.
During the summer, you can't see the wood for the trees, literally!
