Mountain Goat (Wild) - Capra aegagrus hircus
Findhorn Valley, Scotland
The feral goats of Scotland were brought in by Neolithic-era humans for farming purposes but were likely abandoned around the late 1700s due to the Highland Clearances, the evictions of a significant number of tenants in the Scottish Highlands and Islands. These people were unable to bring their livestock with them and, instead, had to leave them to roam the Highlands. The goats from this collective of livestock were able to get a foothold in this environment however and within little time, the population of Highland goats exploded to about 3,000 to 4,000. Though they are very common to see, they are also heavily considered both a nonnative, invasive species by the Scottish government as well as a major threat to the Scottish Highlands with there being evidence of the goats contributing to grazing pressures on at least 18 different conservational sites. Hunting remains as one of the primary ways that the population is handled and though a few population management plans have been discussed, few have gotten off of the ground.

Moment at Baileys Norge:
The track back down to Stainforth from Catrigg Force makes for a nice image. Particularly if you get some nice light and cloud interest, which were absent on this occasion unfortunately!
That said, I had just taken my best ever image of Catrigg Force, even though the water levels were very low. On every other visit the water prevented me from getting the shot I really wanted and the narrow gorge was full of fallen trees and branches making the shots quite cluttered. Today the gorge had been cleared of many of the fallen trees and the low water levels meant you could get well into the gorge and get a nice shot of the cascade. I'll post that shot later this week.
This was the half way point of a very nice day out in the Dales with John Bleakley, Terry Roberts and our visiting American buddy Brad Eide.

At about 7 A.M., I arrived at the meeting point for the group walk organised by the local council as part of the village's festival. There is a goats farm and this was the only one on the tree having breakfast. Yes, it was so hot already then. Unbelievable heat.
