Bit of a busy day, photographically - afternoon out up the glens, set up the telescope this evening and then just a quick aurora tonight to round it off :)

The BGS have already moved it closer, just a bit north of yesterday's: https://www.earthquakes.bgs.ac.uk/earthquakes/recent_events/20260416194626.html#page=summary

It's early days and there's a fair chance the BGS might move it, but for now, initial impressions are it's directly on the Tyndrum fault line, which makes a change from all the other quakes around the area since last autumn.

Strathearn Spring:
bird under stick
sunlit back fields & hills
and the amelanchier is blooming 🌴🌸😁

Life is a flower / So precious in your hand
Carry on smiling / And the world will smile with you
