Living on Point

 Debbie left a week and a half ago and I am realising that I do actually live here and my home is not  a self catering cottage.  Here are a few images from walks I have been doing, mostly from the house but I booked on to one in Harris with the West Harris Ranger, Clara.  Climbing Beinn Dubh, not very high but it was steep enough for me and my heart had a real workout.

A small number from the mobs of sparrows and starlings I usually have on the feeders.

A few more images from my walking in Lewis and a gig in Stornoway with Willie Campbell.  I have been taking a lot of images of stranded jellyfish on the beach.  They produce such lovely patterns.

Driving back from Lochganvich after a walk and spotted the deer at the side of the Pentland Road

Greenfinches have found the feeder but I only seen them briefly

A mob of sparrows

I walked from Portnaguran around the coast towards the lighthouse

There was a wedding before the start of the gig

I have been walking Rupert, a border terrier from up the road.  Taking lots of images on Portvoller Bay.  Finally managed to go to Ness last Saturday - 26th Sept and to my delight there were a lot of images to be had.  Lots of stranded jellies - not so good for them and feathers.

That is up to date on 29th September.  Will do a new post in October if I have any different images.
