Beavers at Bamff: A new flow levelling device at Bamff
http://beaversatbamff.blogspot.com/2014/09/strathmore.html
A riparian and wetland rewilding project at Bamff in Perthshire, Scotland in which Eurasian beavers (Castor fiber) play a key part. Monday, 22 September 2014. A new flow levelling device at Bamff. As I walked along the ditch to visit the Wet Wood one day in July, or so, I noticed that the beavers had built a fine new dam. I thought little of it because there were no signs that water was seeping up into the field to the south. I must ask Lush (Lewis Smith) to come and build a pond leveller.

Beavers at Bamff: New Dams and Bumblebees
http://beaversatbamff.blogspot.com/2014/06/new-dams-and-bumblebees.html
A riparian and wetland rewilding project at Bamff in Perthshire, Scotland in which Eurasian beavers (Castor fiber) play a key part. Monday, 30 June 2014. New Dams and Bumblebees. One of the new dams down the drive at Bamff. The Flight of the Bumblebee. When you get a good shot of a crisply focussed bumblebee in flight, amid a forest of softly focussed green vegetation, you have won a rich reward. Going back to the plantain, I see that research carried out in the Swedish Åland Islands, over the last twelv...

Beavers at Bamff: 18th June 2014
http://beaversatbamff.blogspot.com/2014/06/18th-june-2014.html
A riparian and wetland rewilding project at Bamff in Perthshire, Scotland in which Eurasian beavers (Castor fiber) play a key part. Wednesday, 18 June 2014. I am delighted with this new dam on the east side of the drive to Bamff House. And this one a little further down stream. The Ragged Robin is out now. Here is some coppice regrowth from young stems cut last winter. And the iris. Hurray! It was good news to learn that the RSPB are keen to see the beaver restored to Scotland.

A riparian and wetland rewilding project at Bamff in Perthshire, Scotland in which Eurasian beavers (Castor fiber) play a key part. Sunday, 30 March 2014. Http:/ bamffbeavers.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/more-about-winter-20132014.html. Yesterday, carried away by the effort to post a blog after so long, I posted another one but put it on the wrong Blog. Here is the link to get to my alternative and previously unused blog. Links to this post. Saturday, 29 March 2014. And, no doubt all sorts of other plant life.

Beavers at Bamff: August 2013
http://beaversatbamff.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
A riparian and wetland rewilding project at Bamff in Perthshire, Scotland in which Eurasian beavers (Castor fiber) play a key part. Saturday, 24 August 2013. Health Check and Vegetation. The longer you leave it, the the harder it is to return, but here I am, back at the blogging. Here is an ink cap, the first I have seen here this autumn. The branching bur reed ( Sparganium erectum. The beavers of the Wet Wood are very active now, preparing for winter. This ash ( Fraxinus excelsior. A day or two before t...

Blacka Moor: On The Road - the A625
http://theblackamoorsite.blogspot.com/2015/08/on-road-a625.html
Thursday, 13 August 2015. On The Road - the A625. There was a time, some 20 years ago perhaps, and many times before that, when we regularly would hear voices raised saying “something must be done about it. 8221; or, it went on, the national park will be destroyed, its appeal lost for good. The wall bounding Blacka has been regularly punctured by vehicles over the years. And the bus stop. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A selection of recent header pictures here.

Blacka Moor: Topical Ambivalence
http://theblackamoorsite.blogspot.com/2015/08/topical-ambivalence.html
Wednesday, 5 August 2015. This time of year illustrates well the fatalistic notion that everything good always manages to be balanced by something not so good. Or contrariwise or 'glass-half-full': clouds have a silver lining. The results can be seen and we await this year's bashfest probably within weeks. Very close by we can see where trees were destroyed early this year: there is an absence of bracken around the stumps. Having said all that, I've got mixed feelings about all this ambivalence. Others f...

Blacka Moor: Wanderings and Encounters
http://theblackamoorsite.blogspot.com/2015/08/wanderings-and-encounters.html
Sunday, 9 August 2015. Lost yer way, 'ave yer? Said to me many times as a response to my habitual puzzled look. Most recently I've heard that deer have been seen in the city's General Cemetery quite close to the inner ring road. The report mentioned roe deer but also that a muntjac had been attacked by a dog within the grounds. I've seen no muntjac as yet on Blacka but they may be around. They are not herd animals and their spread across the country testifies to their wanderings. Art and the Bilberry Pie.

Blacka Moor: Wildlife
http://theblackamoorsite.blogspot.com/p/deer-and-other-wildlife.html
In their freedom the red deer are similar to roe deer which also exist in the woods and open areas. The differences are in size and also habits. Roe deer are territorial, the bucks not welcoming the presence of other males, and there are often two or three does in a group. While all deer are timid and avoid humans roe deer are even more so than the red. It's not common to see roe deer out during the day. They like the twilight hours. This page has concentrated on the mammals because much of the attention...
