I'm not sure where to go, I really need a south'westerly gale
for Eshaness, for the waves to crash over the cliffs.. I might
go as the cafe is open today, then i can get my lunch..
But i'll wait to see the forecast from Gulberwick weather
station.. its really dark for photography.. I do have a setting
on my camera to brighten things up a bit..

Well, it looks like da waxwings have passed till next year, very
few berries left on the honeysuckle, although I did have a
blackcap in my garden a few days ago..
I extended my bird perch by about four feet, that makes it about
eight feet long now.
I made it out of some sycamore branches I cut from my tree..
Its only about eight feet from my window, I used my whitling
knife to sharpen a few small branches so it could hold a few
apples..
Today I decided to trim my overhanging honeysuckles branches,
what a differance it makes.. the birds thought so too..
I had about twenty sparrows and twenty starlings on it and the
slabs were baited with wild bird seed.
The beauty of it, is the cats will be seen approaching it, so
the birds seem quite happy wae it, they are even getting used to
me..
All I need now is a few migrants to join them. ;D

Re: Blogs.. put it in here.. The bird perch..

When I took these photos this morning, I was standing next to
the perch, and a sparrow & starling were feeding only a few feet
from me..
So it seems to me
that the birds are getting used to me, and don't see me as a
threat.. ;D
I did modify this post this morning, after I took the photos..

Tuesday 10th february..
Dis is wan o my auld blogs aboot da otter, wae pics.
If your seen it, then ignore it. lol .
It was freezing cold last night.. minus 8 and in the morning it
was -3.. and I wanted to go out and see if the otters were
about.. so I decided I better get some warm clothing on.. so
being an auld guy I thought I better wear my long johns, thought
I heard someone giggle, its probably Lynne, just ignore her,
he.he. then I put on my moleskin trousers, walking boots and
gaiters, woollie hat, neck muffler, then my warm jacket, oh.
nearly forgot, my fingerless gloves, then I went along the sea
banks looking for the otters, I did'nt see any till I got to the
holt, I was just looking back the way I had come, when I spotted
it, and it spotted me, it was right in, almost almost touching
the rocks, every time I raised my camera it would dive.. it was
only about twenty feet below me.. so new tactics were needed, so
I moved back from the bank and took up a new position, it
worked, and I think I got my best pictures to date.. well
chuffed.. here it is..
Dis wiz aboot twartree years ago..
