Lovely light on St. Mary's this evening ...

the only people I aspired to were Fonz, Starsky & Hutch and the Stylistics

My teenage granddaughter thinks she knows everything. Her parents are regretting naming her Alexa!

High tide and St. Mary's ...

A freshly dead White-tailed Eagle washed ashore on Hoy this week, & I was given the chance to see it. I was able to age it as a full juvenile, & found that it had been contaminated by Fulmar oil, a likely factor in its demise. An impressive beast, with incredible feet & claws!

My mate asked, So how come you and your wife have been together for so long and never seem to argue? The key to a good marriage is an adventurous and exciting sex life, I replied. Really? He said, I never knew that. Neither does she! I replied.

My mate said he was going to a fancy dress party dressed as a small island off the coast of Italy. Don't be Sicily, I replied.

A quick apres-office trip to Sandwich for the lovely Spotted Crake this evening - a nice little performer! SBBOT KOS RareBirdAlertUK #Birding

I post jokes about everything. If I upset anyone, I don't mean to. People have to realise that I sometimes include myself. I post jokes about blind people because it isn't anything personal, it's only humour.

I spent the day steering a boat with my stomach muscles yesterday, yes I went ab sailing!

AQUATIC WARBLER!!! Still can’t believe we caught this stunner at Carey this morning! Made it worthwhile giving it a go between weather fronts. The bird was interestingly a good weight of 15g!

My mate has just bought a car and whenever he drives it, eggs shoot out of the boot, it's a hatchback!
