River Spey at Aberlour I was a little saddened to see that someone has been gathering and removing the River Water-crowfoot that is currently flowering just upstream from the bridge, but at least they haven't cleared all of it. This was at seven o'clock in the morning. When I returned several hours later the heaps had been removed.

Canoeing on the River Spey This was the second group of canoes I saw this morning, on their way from Aviemore to Spey Bay. The trip takes four days and involves camping each night.
