I haven't won anything since my pasta and dried bean picture in primary 4! Thanks very much indeed, there were really great photos in the January competition!

A bleak midwinter's morn

Get it in the water! :)

Wow, thank you! :D

That looks like a superb trip, well done!!

New Years Day

I received a level one mat and pillow this evening as a gift (was googling for info afterwards and came across this post). I immediately lay for half an hour in a state of complete almost sleeping bliss. To the touch it feels harmful, but after initial discomfort it is extraordinarily relaxing...

Thank you @Dan00001, I can certainly put in the effort to learn the skills but I only hope I can develop the mettle to keep my nerve when everything depends on them!

Enjoying a hasty post-work dusk paddle I was thrilled by the sight, and sound, of a stag and his hinds very close by on a small offshore island. A good feeling that will carry me through the day tomorrow!

Thoroughly enjoyed your adventure, impressive navigating, I am inspired to stop talking about doing it and finally learn some skills. I could relate a little as a couple of kayaking experiences have taught me that not being in the right mindset can distort things considerably, even if being...

Autumn colours, full moon walks, first stags roaring. The joys of September. Please share what you are loving about this month!

The bathtub is in the eye of the beholder! In the absence of any proper entries :p

Thank you, I can taste them already! :D

I am a novice at fishing but have previously caught a few trailing a line from my kayak. I found that multiple hooks lead to a tangle in my inexperienced hands so want to use just one, or two at most. I have left it a little late this year but hope that work and weather won't mean no mackerel at...

I have a goldengage and for the first time since planting it fruited, producing a grand total of three gages, so delicious, I hope for many more in the future! All my trees are young and this year the apples had no fruit, mostly due to gales and salt spray when they were pollinating, and then a...

For the last few weeks golden and sea eagles have made daily appearances, sometimes sitting close by on the shore for long periods. A couple of days ago one caught my eye, looking like a large rock on the nearby headland, I was about to turn away when it took off and flew across the bay. It...

Sea eagle made a high approach from north east, the geese must have spotted it the moment it appeared over the fairly distant skyline. They skedaddled flying low in the opposite direction, far in advance of the eagle who wheeled over the empty bay and landed on the shore about 200m from me. It...

Hi Dale, you are likely to observe them anywhere on the west of Scotland from Argyll north, particularly on Sky and Mull. Unless of course you are looking for them! There are times when I don't see one for ages but just now they are a daily occurrence and because the weather is mostly very...

Three ravens in a roadside tree at 6am, something has fallen by the wayside overnight. A solitary sea eagle came very close checking out the greylag geese - always worth looking up when they all take flight. Nothing doing this time but have watched them kill and eat geese in the bay a couple of...
