That's one of my favourite lochs Iain. As you say, there has always been a head of small wild brownies but they started including stocked brownies last year and they have really over-wintered well. The boats are completely useless I agree....
hi Ewan - your use of coracles to describe the boats made me grin - it's about right!! Even steve redgrave would struggle to get the buggers to track straight.
Does look like the brownies have grown on very well indeed, nice!
