Out on a walk around Loch Skerrols and Bridgend Woods in June 2025, here my sister Imke is crossing the small wooden footbridge over the Carrabus Burn at the north western corner of the loch.

My sister Imke spotted it first and pointed it out to me, so that I could take a picture. While mostly black it has an interesting white spot shaped like a W on its forehead. It also has only one horn for some reason.
