Birds of a feather

Had originally planned on a bit of rant tonight, however, instead - having had a wee run over the moor road from Penicuik to West Linton earlier this evening I found more interesting things to comment on.

First I met two blokes out with their "birds"  that is, of the feathered variety, so stopped to speak and managed a couple of snaps of their Peregrine Falcons.

Further along the road I stopped to take a closer look at one of the man made towers which can be seen from the road,

These towers can be seen across country from here to Broughton and then  Tweedsmuir, as they mark the line of the underground water tunnel which carries the water from the Meggat / Tala Reservoirs , fed by natural gravity all the way to the Glencorse Reservoir.
