Close-up of a blooming thistle with its sharp spines and vibrant purple petals. The blurred background shows more thistles swaying gently, creating a soft, dreamy atmosphere. The thistle is Scotland’s national flower, known for its resilience and striking beauty.

I decided to have my morning coffee in the garden this morning. I thought it would be nice and quiet.

50 #moths of 11 #species from our #LochAwe cabin last soir. I think these two Scarce Prominent (nfm) are quite possibly the best looking #moths I've ever met. Superb creatures. #teammoth #scottishmoths #wildscotland #highlands

A photograph of Ben Starav rising from the edge of Loch Etive in Scotland, with its rugged shoreline leading up to the mountain. The scene shows clouds stretching across the mountain peak while sunlight highlights sections of the rocky terrain, emphasising the dramatic and striking features of the landscape. The composition is bold and minimalist, focusing on the natural grandeur of the Scottish Highlands.

Dunlin feeding on sand worms & crustacea, in amongst the rocks along the shoreline, North Uist. You soon find yourself immersed in their world through the prism of your viewfinder.

Otters are creatures of the edges, moving for the most part unnoticed between salt and freshwater. A very welcome encounter, with this young cub from a recent tip to #Uist in the #OuterHebrides.

One of the few sightings of a Short Eared Owl on North Uist. Unusual, but it's been a very wet winter on the isles, and likely this has hit the vole population, (their natural prey).

My corner of Scotland never disappoints. A perfect weekend coastal walk, topped off by watching Northern Gannets dive at 60mph into the Firth 🌊. #NorthernGannets #WildScotland

Encounters on the Benbecula shoreline. The bond of mother & cub remains close for about a year. She raises the cubs alone, teaching them how to survive in freshwater & coastal environments.
