I was greeted by this grim sight when I arrived at Loch Paible today. This lost/discarded fishing net had five dead baby seals entangled in it. It’s so sad that this has had such tragic consequences.

This fabulous male Emporer Moth was in my trap this morning. It’s got to be one of the best looking UK moths.

This Puss Moth was so well camouflaged on the path that I nearly trod on it. Also a fantastic Emporer Moth, which has to be one of the best moths in the UK.

A great Monday night watching @gruffingtonpost and his band play @stlukesglasgow. My first gig for nearly two years!! Well worth the trip over from the Outer Hebrides.

A Fogbow on Benbecula today, caused by light being refracted through the fog. Made for an atmospheric trip to the beach.

Nice to see this cracking Stilt Sandpiper at Loch Pailble this afternoon. Cheers to finders Rob Fuller and Gerry Boner for getting the news out.

Bit of novelty value on Balivanich beach, Benbecula today. A leucistic Turnstone. The local gulls took exception to it and continually chased it round the beach, probably wondering what it was.
