Dinosaur footprint from mid Jurassic period 170 million years ago. An Corran beach.
Isle of Skye Hooded crow, having previously seen only one , today we saw dozens.
Thats disappointing, we all know the feeling.
Beautiful Crested tit, easily seen at this time of year in Abernethy Forest.

Brown birch-bolete and Orange birch bolete, Abernethy forest.
Lingonberry, Vaccinium vitis-ideas, a summer food for Capercaillie.
Was a lovely bonus since they believed he had already left. Primarily went for Devils tooth fungi.
One of Loch Garten Ospreys with a large trout near the nesting platform and camera at Abernethy Rspb.
Devils tooth, Hydnellum peckii, found only in Scotland these were at Abernethy forest. Due to the long dry Summer these are past their best but all the same it’s a new and rare fungi.
Thank you, I’m certain we shall.
Off to Applecross and Skye for the week, hope the weather is kind.
Legend
All of them.
Made me laugh out loud.😂
They used to make some very powerful predictions, thankfully they all fell flat, wonder if they postponed the date of apocalypse once more.
The last bit is am important question, imo.
Agreed if you swap Doritos for plain crisps and red wine for tea 😆
Seems there is an unbridgeable gap in society of bad people v good people, never that simple.
Superb, i long to take pictures like that.👏👏
Gove should be behind bars, not the pub type.
Isn’t that what makes interesting, the not knowing.
Watching from the Uk I see a pattern emerging.
Absolute bastards
That begs the question?
No! They enjoy it.
He really does look disturbed.
Lamp post?

Kestrel over Exeter marshes looks as if it’s been shot at, struggled to fly.
Thoroughly miserable weather mid morning at Exeter marshes, Osprey helped raise the spirits.
We were lucky Bill,Simon and I had just decided to leave when a very kind lady alerted us to its whereabouts. Good to see you Bill.
What I wonder is their end game, lord of the flies.
Unbelievably confiding Turf, Devon Wryneck. Great to see old and new friends.

I have watched this clip - less than 2 minutes in length - any number of times and my emotions never fail to get the best of me.
Sometimes we get very lucky.
Exactly the same re Monty, my dream bird seen in Cornwall, heart pumping as we approached the site and then anticipation turning into joy.
Common nettle bug and Ground nettle bug.

They are a worldwide disease.
I hereby request FIFA to remove all World Cup matches from the United States.
4th time lucky. 15 mins later we would have missed it. Safely say no 1 bird of the year.
Same, but we have seen a magnificent bird.
Infinitely better than mine 😂
Was a first for us. Last year we followed very likely the same bird through three counties and dipped each day. So delighted to finally see one.
This ridiculous smudge is a Black-winged kite seen today close to Slimbridge, better views from pals scope.
Unexpected find, Young Great crested newts, carefully and quickly re-covered.
Brilliant
Nick, if you ever need any locations related to my posts you only need ask.
Thank you Nick, jewel of a location, courtesy of Hitlers bombers.
Happy to help Nick.🙂
Has been a very dry season yet I see mostly business as usual. Expect it will gradually change, certainly some species are moving North.
Stunning
