Visitation 2

After the rains of the past few days the river at Portinscale is racing, fuller now and with a different identity than a few days before - white water more apparent mid-stream; and the Sand Martins are less active around the nest site, preferring their higher altitude feeding on the wing and not coming down to earth until much later in the evening -

Out in the field the lambs are getting boisterous, in particular one group who play at head-butting each other and then chasing each other to the river's edge where they bump and leap and challenge - its cute to watch, but also slightly agonising when their heads crack together, skulls thudding -
