After a rainy few days here in the Cairngorms, we're all pretty delighted for some sun! Here is Hopscotch's five month old calf, basking in some autumn sunshine. β˜€οΈ

This is the lovely Fern! She's 16 years old which makes her one of the oldest reindeer in our herd. Now that she's well and truly retired from breeding she spends most of her days out free ranging in the hills. She's a friendly lass and it's always an absolute joy to see her 🀩

A picture is worth a thousand words! These are our hand reared calves - Winnie on the left and Alba on the right. Winnie is a sweet natured friendly lass, Alba on the other hand is a little bit more... grouchy. In a mostly loveable kind of way! πŸ˜‚

Reindeer bulls pee on the back legs during the rutting season, as a way of spreading their scent. Maybe it smells nice if you're a female in season, but it doesn't smell too great to us, tbh! πŸ™„

Here's Sherlock trying to impress his ladies!

Did you know that once (long, long ago) reindeer roamed right down to the south of France? Read Manouk's blog to find out more about the history of French reindeer. πŸ‡«πŸ‡·

This wee cutie has grown in most of his winter coat already - in time for the first snow on the hills over the last couple of days. ❄

Most of you will know we name our reindeer using a theme each year. These two lovely lassies are both aged four and were named in our 'European Place Names' theme. On the left is Helsinki and on the right is Florence 😍

All our calves are now around five months old and it's great to see their individual personalities developing. This little lass is growing in confidence by the day. The antlers in the background belong to her mum, Mangetout!

Sundae beautifully posing this morning! She's never too far away from her mum, Spy, who is the reindeer in the background. The pair spent the summer out free ranging in the hills together and are currently back in our hill enclosure for a short while 😍
