  6. Same here EDO he was a wee friend! My wife who is a keen photographer of the local flora and fauna ( http://www.leavesnbloom.com/ ) knows where there was a colony on the Almondbank/Pitcairngreen side of the R. Almond and we will take a walk over there during Christmas to see if there is any trace of them. There is a bounty for them so their existence is perilous to any so inclined.
  7. Strange EDO ours hasn't been seen for about the same length of time, that is too much of a coincidence.
