Blackford Glen is always a treat, and it was a joy to see this guy having an evening snack on the dog walk last night. Not sure the farmer will approve.
😂 I bought yours when you did one and still have two of your mugs. One is in service just now. I do one myself now. Not as classy as yours, but it’s way nicer than Christmas cards.
First blackcap capture of the year at Damhead near #Traquair in the Scottish Borders. A great excursion from #Walkerburn with the boys - also pictured. #bird #birds
Every dog walk is a litter pick. Been putting up @pawsonplastic.bsky.social posters in the wonderful Inch Park with Scotty and Brodie last night. Such a lovely place and litter was collected. The campaign is to encourage more people to bin their litter and to join a great cause.
The #@robcrank68.Bsky.social #themeoftheday is #bestofJuly. Easy. Has to be from the trip to the Farne Islands. #bird #birds
Small Copper from the wonderful Seven Acre Park. #butterfly #butterflies #nature #naturephotography #Edinburgh
Lovely walk in Burdiehouse Burn Valley Park last night, and beginning to roll out @pawsonplastic.bsky.social’s Edinburgh campaign posters. Alas, no wildlife chose to put on a show, so here are the boys. And litter was collected. #litter #FriendsofBurdiehouseBurnValleyPark. #Edinburgh
@robcrank68.bsky.social #birdoftheday theme is #sittingdownonthejob. Has to be the Wren I encountered in the fabulous Little France Park in #Craigmillar, #Edinburgh. Plonked down on a reed. Such lovely things. #bird #birds
Sunset at the mouth of the River #Esk was lovely at the weekend. Such a lovely place for a walk. #Mussleburgh
Lean pickings for butterflies at Damhead near Traquair at the weekend, but amazingly on the walk back spotted a flash of green and thankfully it landed eventually. My first spotting of a Large Emerald on a sunny day. Go figure. #moth #moths #Traquair #ScottishBorders.
Long way off and lots of cropping, but lovely to see a Buzzard at Damhead near Traquair. #bird #birds #Traquair #ScottishBorders.
It was all about the Meadow Browns at Limefields beside Burdiehouse Burn Valley Park last night. #BBVP #BurdiehouseBurnValleyPark #Edinburgh #butterfly #butterflies
@robcrank68.bsky.social #birdoftheday theme is #birds&flowers. Here’s a delightful Bulbil from #Marrakech #bird #birds
The Stonechats were on form last night on the wetlands at Little France Park in Craigmillar. Such lovely things and what an amazing park. #bird #birds #Edinburgh #Craigmillar
Well done those kids. Awesome work! As a dog owner and member of @pawsonplastic.bsky.social every dog walk is also a clean up. Bags thrown in bushes or into trees is just appalling. We all face lots of difficult challenges in life, but putting litter in a bin isn’t one of them.
It was all about the Small Skippers at Limefield near Burdiehouse Burn Valley Park last night. The field was awash with them. #butterflies #butterfly #Burdiehouse #Edinburgh
Nether Liberton run through AI and colourised. Amazing to see some of the detail of Good’s Corner and the surrounding area. #Liberton #Edinburgh.
Old Gilmerton. Drum Street looking west apparently. Looks more like north to me. Our forst home is just up on the left, and west facing garden was delightful. We made sure we had that for our two other homes.
A Small Heath butterfly at Damhead near Traquair in the Scottish Borders. Tough butterfly hunting conditions yesterday with drizzle and wind. Lovely little things.
@robcrank68.bsky.social #birdoftheday theme is #redbeakfeeteyes. Puffins are hard to beat. Such lovely things. #bird #birds.
@robcrank68.bsky.social #birdoftheday theme is #redbeakfeeteyes. Has to be Oystercatchers on the banks of the River Tweed near #Walkerburn.
A first for me. A Spotted Heath Orchid apparently. Just one lonely individual spotted at Damhead near #Traquair. Lovely thing.
When I go to Inch Park I hardly see any birds. It’s fabulous still obviously, but I think they just say, ‘Let’s wait for Glenys!’ 😂
