# Get your ass to Mars.
Mars the Botanical Gardens:

There's a Powerful Owl in the Rainforest Walk (no, it's not a euphemism, it's the species name).

# Ah yeah, I've been meaning to ask, what should I keep an eye open for in Scotland?
Are there any interesting to photograph birds?
I'll be in St Andrews/Fife, Glasgow, Inverness, Wick and probably Kirkwall or Stromness.

# Well,
Scotland (especially round Glasgow) was where I did my formative birding. A lot of good seabirds (Gannets, guillemots, gulls galore, waders) and some good inland birds. One place that's easy to get to is RSPB Lochwinnoch, 25 min outside Glasgow on the train. Two decent hides, lots of birds (especially in winter) and a decent shop with a coffee machine. Kelvingrove Park can turn up a ew nice birds and they're often moderately tame, if you have a camera with you for that sort of thing.

# Also, I don't think I've been to the botanical gardens.
Can you ride a bike around them?

# Ah, bikes not allowed.

# Sadly.
It'd be carnage, though. It's one of the nice places to wonder without the lycra-clad lot carving you up on the pavements. Bicentennial Park is a right fucker for that. People are supposed to go slowly round there and there's always a bunch of twunts doing time trials or something.

# Yeah fair enough I guess.
Centenial Park at least has distinct roads and footpaths.

Unlike uni, where people just step onto the road two feet ahead of you and expect you to stop...

# There's so much brain stem death walking around that place.
I'm surprised there aren't permanent red stains all over City Road near the Wentworth building junction.
