Good morning 🌅
A beautiful sunset last night looking over to Isles of Gigha, Islay and Jura 🏴
The wee beasties of midges and clegs are on steroids here and out in force on the West Coast already 😬
Have a beautiful Tuesday everyone 💙

I can cope with ticks, clegs and midges. But flies.......ugh! Unbearable.

Not a bad start! I’ve had two lifers already, but I’m beating a retreat due to clegs and other biters 😬

High of 24.5C today, and I finally got the first swim of 2026 . Better late than never, and I made up for lost time by having a second swim lower down the glen on the ride out 🙂 Perfect conditions before the onset of what is easily the worst month of the year, with its midges, clegs and 'July Fly' 😬

Clegs are sair wee beasties. I've had them in my garden this year, when usually they only are bothersome miles further up the glens.
