Last night I made another album of my winter photos, to show you..

I put it on this morning, and also put it on a wildlife forum that i'm a member of..

Then I discovered you could'nt watch it.. I forgot to make it public, so its been changed so you can see it..

Then it was oot for a spell o whale watching, but did'nt spot any, only lots of seals..

So I went walkaboot, did'nt see a lot, just cormorants, shags,ravens, arctic skua, great skua, meadow pipits, black guillemots, one or two puffins, gannets and wheatears.. Then I spotted what at first was a cuckoo, I got out the binos, only to discover it was a male merlin, at a distance they look similar.. but to far away for a photo, it was fence walking.. What I mean, it kept flying from fence post to fence post, always keeping a distance from me.. This was on the graven road..

Then I seen a convoy of posh looking vehicles at the Total site.. probably high heed yins from Total..

Then it was off home to write this short blog..

Hi. All..

Yesterday I had to get out, two days in, is not good for anyone..

So, where to go..

Eshaness sounds good to me, on a lovely day like yesterday..

So I set off.. But first, I had to check Yell sound for whales.. [ nothing seen ]
 
As I past Garths voe, I saw a Heron feeding and a few Mergansers..

Next stop was at Brae, stocked up with provisions at the coop, then it was onward..

Next stop was Punds water, I stopped at the parking spot, and took my old camera, and left the car..

Then I took a few photos of the Loch.. the reason I used my old camera was, it means I don't have to change lenses..

The Loch..





Then I spotted what I thought might be an interesting photo, it was just the long grass at the side of the Loch..



Then it was onward..

Next stop was at the Twart Burn, there was a flock of Twites here, but they told me not to take their photo, strange we birds, I did'nt realise they could speak  ;D

The Burn..





Then it was time to get going, just before Zoar, another flock of Twites were all lined up on the fence..

I stopped, got out the car and your've guessed right, they all flew off, but I did get some photos of some wild-plants.. Sheeps Bit and Cats Ear..

Cats ear..



Cats ear & Sheeps Bit..



Then it was time for a bite to eat, so I stopped at Braewick cafe, and had a wee blether with Christina, finished eating and headed to the Lighthouse..

But first stopped at Breckon water, [ also called the Loch o the Gaet ]

Brecken Water..





Then I saw another large flock of Twites, at least 20 of them..

Then one of my sons drove up to me, he was going to Framgord Loch, at the lighthouse, we had a wee blether, then he had to go, this fishing bug is hard to beat..  ::)

Then it was back home again.. lots of photos to sort out, then to select the ones for this wee Blog..

Hope you enjoyed my day out.. I did ..

Well yesterday was such a nice day, so I decided to stay at home and sook in the warm weather oot in the garden..

I was up from 0430am, [ can't sleep very well at all ]

So I set up my recliner in da garden, then got facinated by a large spiders web, i was looking for the spider, but could'nt spot it at all..

Tracy, close your eyes in case you pass oot  ;D



So I moved closer to it..



I still could'nt spot it, it must have been away on its holidays.  ;D

Then I settled in to the recliner, lack o sleep wis catching up on me, but da droneing o da bees on the honeysuckle wis doing ma head in, then I thought, get yur camera oot da car geordie lad, cause every time I point it at something, they disappear..







Then it wis doon ta wan..  ::)




Then I had a wee bit peace and quiet, and fell asleep..

Next thing I knew wis a buzzing in ma ear, I thought at first wan o the wee buggers hud got in ma ears, but it wis just the phone inside the hoose ringing..

Its amazing whit good news does ta you.. it fairly wakes you up..

It wis a tip-off aboot the white sided dolphins at weisdale voe.. so it wis inta the car and a fast drive doon ta weisdale to see the critters.. mm.. not much room to show you them in the blog. but I'll show more on the photo bit, if dats ok wae you..

First I'll show some o da folk watching dem.. :o









So, what started as a quiet day at home, turned out to be a very interesting day for me..

I hope you all enjoyed your day as well as I did..  ::)
