After the flood the debris is spread all over the riverbank, tons and tons of trees and branches.

Well let's hope it isn't as bad as Australia or Brazil but yes we are about to have flooding in various areas of Scotland. This is the river Tweed today, over 3 metres above normal summer level and flooding the fields. A raging torrent carrying trees and other debris down with it. Today it continued to rise so we'll see what tomorrow brings.

 
Deer

This morning early it was mild and misty and we were driving near our home when we saw six Roe Deer in the field eating the young shoots. They panicked at the sight of the car and one by one ran and jumped the wire fence and ran across the road in front of us and into the woods.

What a sight. 

 
Weasel

No pics this time but I wanted to report that during my walk today I had an amazing encounter with a weasel. He was hunting rabbits and I spotted him from about 25 metres away. I stood still and waited and he dived down a rabbit burrow, after a few minutes he appeared only about 3 metres away from me and looked at me for a while looking for all the world like a Meercat! He was great to watch diving down one hole and coming up another, now he was only about 2 metres away and I was loving every minute of it. Great stuff, he did eventually work his way down the hedgerow away from me so I left him to his endeavours. I was also very impressed at the maze of tunnels that the rabbits had created down the line of the hedge.
