Chilly for May!!
The cold showery weather continues. Warm in the sun, cold in the wind and very wet in the showers.
Ranger Chris is out and about with Llinos Davies today learning about watervoles - you know, 'Ratty' from the Wind in the Willows - and finding out how to trap their main predator. The water vole has declined dramatically in the past few decades, decreasing by more than 96% since 1950. This has been primarily due to predation by the invasive predator, the American mink neovison vison.
Speyside Way Rangers will be participating in the conservation programme.
