Listen to your favourite podcasts first on BBC Sounds.

The Scotland Outdoors podcast from BBC Radio Scotland.

Hello and thanks very much for downloading this.

I'm Mark Stephen.

As you know, we make the Scotland Outdoors podcast out of the live program we do for BBC Radio Scotland called Out of Doors. And this week, what else can we talk about? It's the changing of the seasons.

Hello and a very good morning, Jay. If you were lying in bed, if you're underneath your duvet at the moment, get up, get up quick, because this is a cracking morning.

Really high cloud.

Can you hear that in the background?

I don't know if you can hear it. Listen.

Go and do it again, do it again, do it again.

There's a woodpecker.

There's a woodpecker several trees away.

There, isn't that fabulous? I'm Mark Stephen, live from the BBC Aberdeen Car Park,

coming to you from his Banscher idyll, Mr Ewan McElwrett.

Yeah, Mark Stephen making his own entertainment beside himself.

There's a woodpecker again. Brilliant.

Yeah, summer solstice this morning, spring solstice.

Just, the sun... God, it's going big dinners Is that?
