It’s a clear night so I’m sure you’re frozen. A nice hot drink. ☕️

Phew! 😃

White-tailed Eagles are an annual feature these days on #StKilda, but today's Golden Eagle joining the three White-taileds was remarkable! There had previously been single records in only 5 years between 1955 and 1976.

A white painted cottage in twilight

The delightful C18th Grade II listed cottage on Skokholm at twilight last night.

This was where Ronald Lockley set up the first bird observatory in the 1920s. It has since been immaculately restored by volunteers 👌

It really was the perfect crime with exquisite irony.

A nice selection Ray. Must save you a small fortune.

A great job. I remember it well.

😂 That was a good series. I always remember the frozen leg of lamb.

Thanks very much. I visit Inner Farne and the Isle of May regularly and I’m really interested in the archaeology on those islands, especially having been involved in excavations on Lindisfarne for the last ten years.

I know both of those. Lovely installations.
