Superb w/end at Sella cultural fiesta. Old equipment, furniture, singing, dancing, food & workshops. Attended one workshop on Cyanotype prints, one of the earliest forms of photography, involved laying an object on chemically-treated paper then exposing it to sunlight. RFJπŸ’™ πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦

After 16 days of monitoring a Dipper nest, the first youngster fledged ystday. The parent fed and encouraged the young bird down to the river bed; it then fed it regularly and showed it how to catch prey. A wonderful evening experience; pure gold. John Gallagher RFJπŸ’™ πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦

A fairly cool, but gorgeous walk around parts of Vatersay this morning. Sunny, peaceful and beautiful but there is certainly a chilly nip in the breeze. Hope all VE Day celebrations are going well. πŸ™RFJπŸ’™ πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦

Up very early this morning enjoying a beautiful bay to myself and hoping to see an otter. No luck so I practiced a bit of bird in flight photography whilst sitting around. Another lovely day. 😎 RFJπŸ’™ πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦

A most gorgeous, calm day for a crossing to Eriskay, where I witnessed my dream house. Explored the island, with lunch at the famous Am Politician, where they still have artefacts from the shipwreck made famous in Whisky Galore. Finally over the causeway to S Uist. πŸ˜Žβ˜€οΈRFJπŸ’™ πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦

What a Spring! Everything is lapping up the sunshine. I could never imagine a lengthy trip to the Outer Hebrides with day after day of lovely weather. Enjoy it because we’ll pay for it later! πŸ€£πŸ˜Žβ˜€οΈRFJπŸ’™ πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦

On Berneray before heading to Harris tmrw. Leisurely day of wandering with a picnic at West Beach, one of the most spectacular beaches in Scotland. The lovely Eilidh of the Coral Box told me the orange boat was the original passenger boat to Harris owned by her uncle.😎RFJπŸ’™ πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦

Wandered down to see if the low lake level was going to be a new record, but no chance. Despite looking very low, it’s still at least an inch (2.5cm) higher than summer 2018 and rain is due tonight! The rest of the low water plaques are out of the water. RFJπŸ’™ πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦

Very quiet up Latrigg late this evening. I was hoping for a lovely sunset but the thick cloud remained stubborn. However, it’s always a gorgeous view down onto my home town. RFJπŸ’™ πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦
