Skating on thin ice.

Driving by one of the smaller lochs near Loch Ruthven, which has a famous RSPB Nature Reserve because of the breeding pairs of Slavonian Grebes, we noticed there was still thick ice on the surface especially by the waters edge. The sun shining on the icy surface of the loch produced a very picturesque scene. More snow fell last Thursday and the temperatures are below zero during the day with a clear night sky full of stars.
