The red squirrels have been a bit less visible over the last two or three weeks. This is a female who visited today. You can her teets are visible so maybe she is still looking after a youngster #Aberdeenshire #Scotland

On my local stretch of river there is a family of dippers whom I see on most visits, including today. The dipper is the only aquatic songbird in the UK and feeds under the river hunting for insects and larvae. Fabulous little birds #Donside #Aberdeenshire #Scotland

Something a bit different. This was shot last Wednesday morning just after sunrise from the summit of Càrn na Drochaide in The Cairngorms National Park. It’s taken with a phone so as I pan you can see the familiar “sunspot” on the lens.

The 5th of July is traditionally Tynwald Day on the Isle of Man. However, when this occurs on a weekend it moves to the Monday, today. Tynwald Day is the national day of the Isle of Man, with events occuring to mark the anniversary of the longest continuous legislature in the world - since 979.

Great Spotted Woodpeckers. I caught a glimpse of this recently fledged juvenile - the one with red cap - a few days ago but today was the first day I’d seen it clear enough for a picture. This is the male parent feeding it.

Two years ago tonight I was fortunate to witness one of the best displays of the Aurora Borealis that I have ever seen. A remarkable sky lit up to the naked eye and made more unique as it was covering most of the southern sky.
