After #StormArwen 2021 here's what I had seawatching on the #LocalPatch #Patchbirding

I've just re read my previous post regarding Storm Arwen. A bit of an understatement there I believe.  On one of our local upland p...

The last time we had wind like this in Edinburgh, our neighbour's roof blew off 😬 #StormEowyn
Schools and Unis closed so it's a day for family board games, hot chocolate and hoping our 129 year old roof stays intact 🤞
A screenshot from the old place from a post on Nov 26th 2021. The text reads "Crikey Crikey #StormArwen - that was part of my neighbour's roof you just blew off!! A huge thanks to the Edinburgh firefighters @firescot for coming out so quickly with their hardhats on, making sure we were all safe." The photo shows a firetruck and lots of firefighters with hard hats looking at a large piece of metal and cladding on the pavement.

The Hedderwick plantation at #BelhavenBay #EastLothian was largely flattened by #StormArwen in November 2021. The restructuring continues today - creating a much more open landscape ahead of replanting at some point - hopefully with an appropriate #nativetree mix.

With villages where I live having power cuts for 2 weeks due to #StormArwen not surprising that supermarket shelves were cleared in anticipation of #StormBert
To be fair we just bought alcohol!

As #StormArwen rages greyly outside, I retreat to the technicolour of wonderful #coralreef fish met in Aqaba in Oct (posted weirder ones yesterday, inset): to start Two-banded (Red Sea) Anemonefish (Amphiprion bicinctus) common in Bubble & Sebae (Leather) anemones.

Text box over translucent square with "Storm Arwen travelled through the valley following the River Eden and the railway... [it] blew down mature trees and around a third of the compartment had to be cleared. In the months following... two further storms... caused more windblown." - Lazonby Estate, Cumbria.

Back in 2022, after #StormArwen, I rolled up a section of the fence around my wood so that I could haul fallen timber out of the south end of my wood. There's still a lot of fallen timber there, but I think I have hauled out as much as I practically can. So […]

[Original post on mastodon.scot]
Starting the unroll. The winch line from the tractor is taken through a turning block at the farm gateway, and hooked into the roll. There's a mess of fallen timber in the foreground, which will be outside the fence once it is back up, and which is destined to become firewood. Behind, the wood is still a mess, but the young oak trees along the edge of it are just coming into leaf. (This picture is accidentally on its side, my apologies) Starting the unroll. The rolled fence has been pulled clear of the weeds, and is unrolling under the branches of the oak trees. The fence more or less fully unrolled along the edge of the wood. Some of the fence posts are broken and will need to be replaced. The fence fully unrolled and tensioned, but not yet upright.

#StormArwen Northerners told not to be silly when they suggest this would be different if it were in the south. #stormmalik ditto. #StormEunice wall to wall tv and radio coverage, army on standby, COBRA called. Stay safe everyone.

I kinda need #StormArwen to calm down a bit here tomorrow. I've started adding a second of "extra wall" on the hardest hit NNW side of my office.

The cold/wet didn't get in on the bit I'd started, but can't exactly work on it with the wind like this. https://t.co/FlTQjQaBN7

Grateful to have family close by with #StormARWEN having cut off electricity for 24 hours now. The power of communities was out in force today, moving trees and helping one another. #BeKind wherever you can 🙏💜

Sadly, also found three dead adult Puffins along the Bay of Tafts, #Westray this afternoon - likely victims of recent #StormArwen and #StormBarra. #WestrayBirding
