This morning as I left for work 100+ swallows on the phone lines. I was fractionally late getting the photo...

Then a cheeky seal


and the real target of the walk, a smaller version...

A mole under my tent this past week. Being in one spot for 3 weeks has softened the ground, encouraging moles to visit.  Not seen the actual mole, just a small bump moving under the carpet, chinking empty beer bottles and occasionally stopping to do what sounds like licking of the lips but is doubtless munching on a tasty worm.

Bloody thing has kept me awake, along with the noisiest young owl in the tree above my tent and the scampering of squirrels in my kitchen hoping for another packet of garlic naan breads foolishly not kept under lock and key. Now back home. Only the kids constituting wildlife now.

Bloody Sparrowhawk chasing something came through the garden area at work and jinked around a bush. I don’t know who was more surprised as it’s wingtip just missed my eye  :D

Went out this evening to otter hunt again.

Saw one (it was probably the same one). Delightful.

Talking of noise, I could see these but not hear them, though they are very loud. Photos are very hard in the near dark and at distance with fast movers.

Yesterday, early afternoon.  A red kite and a buzzard circling in the same airspace for several minutes. Later a pair of buzzards.  The buzzards are, I think, a first this year.  And later still around 70 swallows. We've seen more this year than for many years.

A PROPER red sqrl crossing the road in front of me, on the ride home.
This was on the back road behind Drum Castle, only a short distance outside Aberdeen.

I've never seen a PROPER sqrl that close to town before.
