Heard a squeaking coming from the undergrowth around the garden. Looked up to see a Weasel, with presumably an unfortunate vole in its mouth, disappearing back under the hedge.

A reminder if you’re a dog owner maybe try and not do this? Thanks Regardless of whether it’s a rare bird or not… all shorebirds deserve the space to feed and rest without being relentlessly chased

Huge Ichneumonid wasp today #wasp #insect #smallholding #wildlife #fife #scotland

Photos incoming, all from a distance cos I didn’t want to disturb this wee one, enjoying the sun on a fence post on the track to our house 🙂 Colin Edwards #wildlife #Scotland #lizard #smallholding #fife

Pleased that Mel Golding 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇪🇺 🍄 wanted to take a wander up the track to get some wild raspberries for a Clover Club cocktail because it meant I stumbled across this wee guy enjoying the dappled sunlight on a fence post. #wildlife #nature #lizard #scotland #fife #smallholding

Our office actually has some nice grounds around it. Tells you all you need to know about grown up corporate life that I’ve only seen one other soul out here. Other than that it’s people smoking out on phones by the staff entrance. Once stirred a Snipe up here!

Not seen a Crossbill in ages, so I almost forgave this one (assuming Common as not far enough north for Scottish) sitting in possibly the worst place it could for the light near the east edge of Blairadam Forest... #wildlife #birds #crossbill

Went out for the Perseids, and all I got was this lousy Aurora… Okay, so I saw some Perseids meteors as well, but they were somewhat camera shy. #nightsky #fife #scotland #westfife #smallholding #aurora #auroraborealis #northernlights

New clumsy second brood Swallow fledglings 🙂 #wildlife #birds #smallholding #fife #scotland

Mini frog / toad season is well and truly upon us…

Enjoyed this one. It’s for a thing. Not, obviously, part of the Little Brown Bird project. Need to get a mount so I can centre it 🫣 and present it next week. From one of my own photos - not seen any Puffins in far too long. #sketch #doodle #drawing #art #birdart #birdartist

Large White Butterfly caterpillar on the sacrificial nasturtiums in a raised bed (looking like it has spring forth from a star).

It's only Saturday, but this has already made my weekend. Mel Golding 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇪🇺 🍄, as the gardener of the operation, spots loads of interesting things, and this potter wasp (a European Tube Wasp?) is the best in a while. #wasp #potterwasp #insects #flyinginsect #fife #scotland

How quickly can a Grasshopper jump? Well...
