    I think there might be some buried helebores out the front. I'll give the fallen leaves a jiggle to check.

    Indeed they do. The eastern side of the Highlands have significant wintering populations of Pink-footed Geese & Greylag Geese, and smaller sporadic populations of White-fronted Geese. But of course they're nomadic and will go where the food is and where they feel safe at roost.
