Apologies if anyone was looking here for new posts, I've been housebound "babysitting" workmen doing essential repairs. Since then as you'll see below, I have been out, but still have many things to do at home over the next days now the main work has been done.
This post was built with Google's new blog tool and I don't rate it over the old one, so it might take me some time to get to grips with it. The main dislike is the uploading of photos, so to save me some time I've just left these as Google decided to order them.
It's a long post with a Minke Whale at the end. Room yet for some video too.

Olive's Robin, she's found that the Hedgehog is eating the mealworms she puts out for the Robin! Filmed last night on a trail cam
The Starlings stopped visiting for a while after we had a frequent Sparrowhawk coming in
This Angus calf at Mains of Usan was photographed to show the farmer so he/she could keep an eye on it, it was eating a length of rope on the foreshore!!
A bit of a puzzle this one, at first from the shoreline I thought it was a Sandwich Tern but it's got red legs and when looked at it with the dropper tool the beak is actually fading from red to black, it has to be a Common Tern
Minke Whale, thought to be the carcass seen floating back and forth on the tide in the area between Scurdie Ness and Fishtown of Usan for some weeks
