I'm sure I saw a heron just the other day. Maybe this mass extinction stuff is real after all.
We've had my grandson staying for a few days, been out walking the dogs with him in the evenings. We've seen deer, owls, hares, bullheads, minnows and trout, he's been up to his waist in a bog - marvellous!

The natural world can be a brutal place
Had a great week up Scotland, Islay, Jura and the far North. Saw stacks!! Golden Eagle at Adbeg Distillery, Snipe...heard a Corncrake but didnt see it. Hen Harrier(s), Cuckoo, Chough (after a prelonged drive about, and at a distance...somewhat unsatisfactory), Northern and Red Throat Diver, Terns (unsure as to which!?). Puffins, Great Skua, Shag (very close up!)...and loads of little stuff too! No Otters or Dolphins tho'!! :thumbup:
...more fox cubs in the road!! There's been a few of these recently!
Just back from a breezy run along the strines road when an unusual leaf blew across the road. It was trying to get back with little sucess. turned out to be a tiny chick. Picked it up and it didn't want to get off. Managed to find some shelter in the bracken, noisey little chap.
