The DVD cover for the first series of the BBC series, Luther, depicting Idris Elba as the title character.
So, onto Luther! An instant antidote to The Killing. Weβd forgotten how fast-paced and thrilling the first series was. Just brilliant. Idris Elbaβs performance overshadowed only by Ruth Wilson. Her best role? Sadly weβll rip thru them in next to no time!

π€― #Westray without broadband due to damaged undersea broadband cable. Maybe weeks before cable ship can come and repair. Some mobile services also down. Everyone here recently gone full Broadband for pretty much everything - home phones, care alarms, TV, radio. Businesses majority disrupted.

#WestrayBirding #PatchGold (no, not the blue sky) - only the third #Westray record of Stock Dove π which coincides with birds on Orkney Mainland and at @northronbirdobs.bsky.social in recent weeks (I know itβs not the latter bird cos that one got done by a Hen Harrier). #PWC2026

Snow blowing over Knucker Hill, Westray, Orkney Isles, 3 January 2026.
Not much in the way birding being done here today on Westray. Lots of snow fell overnight. Snow-laden skies. Strong winds. Drifting snow. Some roads not passable cos no gritting at all done here. Our hill road now turning to sheet ice. Looks very atmospheric tho! #Westray #OrkneyIsles #Orkney

The Shell Holm, the southern most outcrop of the Holm of Aikerness yesterday.
Selkies litter the north, on their own desert island.

The waiting room at the pier in #PapaWestray, Orkney, with a glimpse of a multimedia art installation.
The leaflet for the Papay School Visitor Book Box Trail (explained in the following post).
When you come to #PapaWestray #Orkney take the ferry from #Westray and stop off in the waiting room first. There you can see a really cool installation by @papayranger.bsky.social and Saoirse Higgins. And pick up this lovely leaflet made by the children of Papay Community School (see next post). 1/2

The outline design of the proposed new ferries for inter-island services have been out for a few weeks but this evening #Westray had the first of the North Isles presentations where residents could discuss the plans with Orkney Ferries and Knud E. Hansen (designers). Just need Scot Gov to fund!

Not encouraging anyone but #Westray is an amazing island with a great community, lovely school and wonderful birdlife. But then I'm biased in that I love #Orkney

Inside the walled garden of the sycamore woodland, Westray, Orkney Isles, 2 September 2025.
This is the only real woodland we have on #Westray. About a tenth of an acre of sycamore copse by a farm and private house. Itβs all contained within two walled gardens of the big house so is private. Iβve only ever been in on organised visits. Until today π #WestrayBirding

Juvenile Woodchat Shrike, Westray, Orkney Isles, 23 August 2025
The Woodchat Shrike is my 200th π₯³ self found species here in #Westray out of an isle list of 209 (since 30 April 2021). Still some real omissions on my #WestrayBirding list that are seen regularly on neighbouring isles - Wryneck, American Golden Plover, Greenish Warbler to name just three! π€πΌ

I was late out and despite benign sea conditions seabirds were being seen by @papaybirder.bsky.social and @northronbirdobs.bsky.social so it was straight up to the north of the island and boom! π π»ββοΈ A Coryβs Shearwater was the highlight of a 4hr seawatch - and first record for #Westray! #WestrayBirding

Today was the annual #Westray Industrial (donβt ask) Show. Weβre a small isle with c.600 folk so itβs a real community event. Endless competitions for veggies, crafts, photos, flowers and we entered for the first time since the move here and Liz scooped a 1st and 2nd prize. Very proud of my lass β₯οΈ

Screenshot of environmental indicators for my BirdWeather PUC at 16:05h, 13 August 2025. Westray, Orkney Isles.
I use my BirdWeather PUC as our outdoor thermometer. Itβs SE facing so in the sun until around 15:00h. Just before it went into shade it peaked at 29.4Β°C (forgot screenshot π€¦π»ββοΈ). Now in shade for an hour itβs stabilised at 24.8Β°C for the last 30 mins. Itβs been a fair hot one for #Westray!
