Seagull and male Hen Harrier… and also photos!

Posted at 8:53 pm under Uncategorized


Moments ago we heard a visious scream and then watched in wonder as a seagull chased a male Hen Harrier out of our walled garden. I think this is our yearly visitor - the lad that hovers just outside of the bathroom window now and again while searching for a meal from our neglected garden.

My email never alerted me to the fact that folk had been commenting on my other post! So I never thought to come back here and reply. Ooops. As for “Lambing season is over” we are done with the ovines but hopefully we ourselves will have more “lambs” to add to our expanding ranks. :-)

 We have the tattie patch planted, all of the sheep oot, all but four cows out and calved, annnnnd any day now silage will descend on the farm. Just great ~ trying to feed a silage crew while wrangling three kids under two. I look forward to this with baited breath.

And now I’m going to go to bed. I’m exhausted. I love the return of the constant daylight! :-)
