If you go down to the woods today

You'll never believe your eyes, but your nose will confirm it!

Stink pits still being used in the 21st century to kill some animals so toffs can have even more animals to kill later.....

Jay - surprise

The worst photo first, of a first, a garden tick of a Jay, it didn't land though. I saw it fly past when I was observing my House Martin nest which wasn't showing much activity as I think the birds are still sitting on a clutch. Other photos from the past few days, in and around Arbroath. Just counted over 100 Starlings in my garden, that'll be the end of the food then!!
