Yesterday was such a lovely day, I just had to get oot, but first, do you remember I moved my bird perch, well the sparrows seem to like it a lot. I took this pic from my lounge window..



Then it was off for a spell of whale watching from the village pier, after aboot an hour with no sightings I thought I would go to Mavis Grind and perhaps get one o the Puffins a bit closer..

But first I wanted to get a few pics o the fall in Valyre burn, the last time I tried [over a year ago] I fell about 15 feet down the gorge, only an Alder tree saved me from serious injury..

So I climbed down being very careful that I did'nt slip again.. And got these ..





Then it was time for the Puffins at Mavis Grind. Blast.. the were even further away, but a movement caught my eye in the sea.. It was an Otter feeding in the bay..

So I used my car window ledge with a cushion to rest my camera on.. and took these..













A thing I noticed in these Otter pics. was it used its paws a lot to hold the fish. something I've not been aware of before. Kind'a
like the American Sea Otter..

Then I headed up north to the Braewick cafe for a bite to eat.. excellent as usual ..

Then it was off back home, stopping for one last photo of Johnny Manns Loch and a self portrait of myself..
