Photo Blog: November 2023

November has been a busy month. We’ve had the first decent snow higher up on the hills, the free ranging reindeer have been showing their beautiful faces at the hill enclosure every few days, adoptions are coming in thick and fast so lots of letters are streaming out of the office, sleigh training has continued in Glenmore and the first Christmas teams have been on the road! The ‘Christmas reindeer’ have all been totally super and have made us very proud. So this truly is a mixed bag of pics that I’ve taken over the past few weeks! Enjoy…

1st of November: Feeding a herd of free ranging cows. Caterpillar is closest to the camera.

3rd of November: Brie looking very soggy!

3rd of November: Poirot looking very handsome.

6th of November: Dante getting a close-up.

7th of November: Winnie and Cameron! Cameron did a lot of bottle feeding of Winnie and Alba (our han-reared calves) over the summer months and is particularly fond of ‘his girls’.

8th of November: For Isla (back of sleigh) and Cassie (front of sleigh) this is their first Christmas season, but they are total naturals already. Frost is the reindeer with the patchy white face at the front.

12th of November: No reindeer in this pic but what a wonderful office we have above the clouds! You can just make out the thick layer of cloud hanging over Strathspey.

15th of November: 6-month-old Orinoco being gorgeous! She’s a sweet-natured lass who is growing in confidence. She’s definitely not as pushy as some of our calves this year!

16th of November: Marple and her lovely calf Mekong.

18th of November: My first Christmas event of the year. Here’s LX resting his chin before he pulls the sleigh.

19th of November: Another Christmas event for me. Here’s Olmec licking the rain off our sign.

22nd of November: Dr Seuss flanked by Haricot and Adzuki.

23rd of November: The free ranging herd brought themselves into the enclosure looking for a free lunch! Torch closest to the camera.
