The Tuesday evening was spent in the excellent company of Asistant Governor Ewen Hatchwell and his wife Jacky at Bieldside, where between us, I think we managed to put the world, Rotary and otherwise, to rights. It was a very kind gesture which saved us the job of driving back to Dundee late on the Tuesday, only to have to return the following day. It also gave us some much needed breathing space the following day, and an all too rare opportunity to get some exercise. This we did by driving west to the Falls of Feugh to see the water in a very spectacular state due to the recent rainfalls, with spray coming right up over the bridge. This was followed by a walk over the first part of the track round Loch of Kinord where we were fortunate enough to see many different birds including fieldfares, redpoll, redwings and bullfinches among others. It is a magical part of the world which holds fond memories from my early field research days
