TAIN & DISTRICT FIELD CLUB NEWS

The Field Club like so many other organisations has had to put up with occasional Zoom meetings over the winter. However, as Covid regulations have relaxed, over the last couple of months small numbers of members have managed to meet for walks along shores or in the countryside. On 10th June we headed along the coast from Hilton to watch the partial solar eclipse. Conditions were rather cloudy but we did see glimpses of the sun. Just as we reached maximum coverage at 11:20 the sun appeared and we were able to watch through eclipse glasses and to take photos. On the way back to the cars, as we beach-combed, the sky cleared and we were able to get a reasonable projected image of the sun through a monocular. We projected onto an Old Red Sandstone boulder which formed a rather interesting screen! We plan several more walks over the summer but at the moment these are only open to members. If you are interested in the Field Clubs activities have a look at our website or Facebook pages or contact us by e-mail.
