My images and stories from Scotland.
We are both Scots, I hail from Aberdeen, the town of my birth and Lossiemouth, our home town; my lovely lady Jo is originally a Gourock lass, we met on the wonder that was the internet.
We moved back home to Scotland in 2022, to a very rural location which we now absolutely love. The walks, the wildlife, the sky.
As an amateur photographer I am making the most of every moment I can, I am out walking or wandering our “patch” as often as possible, almost always with a camera.
This is where I’d like to share memories of those wanderings and musings.
I no longer do mainstream (anti)social media, it is ruining our lives!

I have started using PeerTube to share my time lapse videos and any birds / wildlife clips I can make, I’d love it if you have a look some time.

Noctilucent displays for June 2026
I recently re-blogged a post from 2025 that showed the Noctilucent cloud shows from June of that year which, spookily happened again on exactly the same date this year. Of course, there’s nothing spooky about it, it’s that time of year but, in my mind, to have clear skies AND Noctilucent clouds on the same…
Noctilucent display 2025
I woke up for a nature call around 01:15 and felt the need to check outside. I opened the curtains where the camera was, gazed groggily at the sky then shuffled back to bed where I promptly got alert-head! Noctilucent display I had to re-share this because on the same day for the past two…
A Walk and a Lifer
I’ve been suffering from dreich recently, really fed up of dull, grey days, they just seem to go on and on, it’s almost the end of June and I feel like we’ve only seen the Sun a few times this year.
Running back
I am sitting at the Mac, for a change. The Sun is shining, for a change. It’s hot out there, for a change 🙂
Another lap of the Sun
I have just been reading through this post from June 14th 2025 and comparing shots. I haven’t seen any Goldfinch young yet, nor has the Crow turned up this year 😢
Welcome to the big scary world
It’s been a while since I’ve added anything from the garden, so taken up with all the birds out on the patch, the Fox cubs etc. but yesterday was the first day in the garden, to the best of my knowledge, for a brand new Great Spotted Woodpecker 🙂
Patch Walk with a P
My mum says, “you never know what to wear” and it’s true now. A changeable walk with a super zoom
Walking with Warblers
Some of you may remember that I’ve been lurking in that area quite a bit recently, watching for Fox cubs but also, listening to an elusive Garden Warbler which continues to sing its heart out from the surrounding cover but pop out to be photographed? Not a chance. I did get a couple of distant…
Just a Quickie
Lots of young birds are hatching and fledging around now and I’m on the lookout for images of young birds out and about
