I think I'll have to take a slow trip South (or North) one day and re-visit that stretch of the coast. In the meantime I shall continue to enjoy it viscously or viciously or vicariously (delete whichever are the incorrect words) through your eyes and lens.

The talons are the nasty bit. Sea Eagles have two of their five on each foot over six inches long, okay a bit shorter...maybe. All raptors kill with their feet. There are few about up here as Grouse shooting is a big income for the estates. Raptors are in theory protected but no-one seems to get prosecuted for shooting or poisoning them. There is a right to wander here but try wandering through a deer fence. <br />ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-41247564876425181802013-08-05T20:52:04.183+01:002013-08-05T20:52:04.183+01:00HI Adrian I love that the Mallard had a good numb...HI Adrian I love that the Mallard had a good number of surviving chicks. the Eagle must not have been around then either. 1 Hope you get to see one and with Salmon in its mouth!!

I was also dreaming of Bunga Bunga parties. I have looked at it twice but it will be hard finding room for a Helipad.<br /> <br />Tesco will deliver the necessaries for £3.60p. That's good as it's a hundred mile round trip to the big shops. I prefer using Waitrose. I miss Waitrose no two for ones' none of that nonsense just good stuff at a sensible price. Such a sensible price that nothing I purchase at Waitrose goes in the bin but the cardboard, paper and plastic.<br /><br />No whisky here, The Mace shop want twenty pounds a bottle for blended...They charge £1.55p for a loaf of bread. I'll cut down on the bread and save up. If you head up this way remember you can drink till late but can't buy the 'hair of the dog' till ten o'clock in the morning. No wonder there are so few Scots in Scotland. <br /><br />I struggled to straighten this it was shot through a prime 135mm and a teleconverter x2. It is damn near plumb but I accept what you say....Near enough is not good enough.<br />ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-87068645122446544302013-08-05T19:55:27.272+01:002013-08-05T19:55:27.272+01:00The hide is a spectacle, lovely.

They are fascinating invertebrates and watching one can pass an hour or so with little effort. Unlike the Leopard with teeth and fur these do change their spots.<br />Do not confuse it with the Dusky Slug Arion subfuscus. The leopard Slug is Limax maximus. Just ask one if you are confused.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-83896298052770260402013-08-05T19:07:55.126+01:002013-08-05T19:07:55.126+01:00The tropical gardens at Inverewe are worth a look ...The tropical gardens at Inverewe are worth a look but aren't dog friendly.
