What about these amazing photos from our Conservation Officer, CristĂn, of an otter on the Fife Pilgrim Way! And look at those bubbles in the water. As it`s a European protected species we won`t reveal where it was spotted. Happily, the otter population is flourishing in Scotland and there are thought to be around 8000 otters [NatureScot].

One of the participants brought along a special gift to our latest Winter Wellness Session at Homelands. A homemade fire starter for the campfire made from a fallen pine cone at Homelands from the recent storm. It took a great deal of effort, but the end result was rather beautiful, so nice in fact that it didn`t seem right to burn it! But burn it we did, it was very effective. Once the fire was hot enough, we cooked potatoes wrapped in foil on it. Coupled with a hot drink from the Kelly Kettle - started using fire steels - the group felt a real sense of achievement.
It`s #NationalStorytellingWeek so we took that as our theme. One person took the time to write a beautiful poem to share with the group. Time was spent learning about local birds through their calls with a mini-quiz, and the second half of the session focused on knot tying. Initial frustrations gave way to smiles after time spent practicing.
Next time...bird boxes!
