A few oldies to finish off the year. Golden Plover, Pallas's Warbler, Red-Flanked Bluetail and Icterine Warbler. Here's to some good birding in 2026. #birds #birdingscotland #ukbirds #naturephotography #ukbirding #ornithology #birdphotography #birding

The Wilkocaster is now complete and sounding particularly spanky. Some tweaks to the set up required but other than that, on to the next project. #luthier #woodworking #guitarmaking

And that's a wrap. OM001 is finished (for now). Not perfect but sounding and feeling great. A really good learning experience with lots of lessons to take into the next project (a 12 fret 0-28) #woodworking #luthier #guitarbuild

Danish oil finishing completed on the oak back, sapele sides and okoume neck. Jury still out on the soundboard. Might sand back and do nitrocellulose. #woodworking #luthier #guitarbuild

Great hike to Boreraig on Skye. Golden Eagle and Snipe spotted but the best sighting was this Adder basking on the path on the way back. #ukwildlife #naturephotography #adder

Acoustic back and top now fitted. Router trim to come next. The oak back was a dusty shelf just a few weeks ago. Brushed up nicely 😀 #woodworking #luthier

After the Winter Solstice, a young bird's thoughts turn to the Spring. Great Crested Grebe, Linlithgow. Happy Holidays ☃️❄️ #birds #birdingscotland #ukwildlife #naturephotography #ukbirding #ornithology #birdphotography #birding

One of the benefits of being back in Aberdeenshire is the frequent sight of Red Kites in the sky. It just never gets old. This one is from Argaty though. #birds #birdingscotland #ukwildlife #naturephotography #ukbirding #ornithology #birdphotography #birding
