Starting a bit of a menagerie.
The rabbit just turned up one day and stayed, nearest burrows we can think of are 500 metres away. Our garden is fully walled in at about 1500mm high so it must have just walked through the gate.
It seems to enjoy cherry tree leaves, so I often pull a few down for it as a treat.

I have photographed this calf in the same gutter over the last few weeks. I have never seen the hind and she must drop it off and head into the cover.

I love your pics Willie, the Black-Throated Diver is stunning! I have never seen one, we don’t get them in these parts. Thank you for posting. 👍
Thank you.

The divers are not that common up in Western Ross - we’ve only seen them on two years out of five. On the loch in the photo they now have an artificial island, which seems to be encouraging them. They are very striking birds, both in terms of their appearance and their call.
