A quick phone snap from a visit to Isle of May today. A friendly razorbill amongst the thousands of birds ... a unsurpassed wildlife experience.

A stunning visit to Isle of May...just off the coast from North Berwick and a little further out than Bass Rock. A bit bumpy and showery but an amazing wilslife experience.

Lovely woodland walk behind the village today. Sunlight filtering through the fresh canopy.

Technically not a seabird, but maybe someone needs to tell the heron that....always there but rarely posing so well!

Hedgehog and one of the local cats have an 'understanding'. Cat is a bit of a voyeur.

What about the endangered species in Scotland’s seas?? 🦈

Basking sharks, flapper skate and sandeels all rely on healthy marine habitats threatened by bottom trawling and dredging.

Photographic evidence that we have 2 hedgehogs...both boys, we think, as there's been no sign of hoglets.
But exciting to see more than one. The food consumption has suggested this!

If there is a better wildlife experience in Scotland I've yet to hear of it.
#IsleOfMay is simply unparalleled.

I'll just share a beautiful family of shags from yesterday.

Do you know the Gaelic for butterfly? 🦋

It’s dealan-dè, pronounced like chall-an G. Dealan can also mean lightning or electricity in Gaelic. In many ways the dealan-dè are butterflies with a spark! 🦋⚡

This was not our experience today off #IsleOfMay ...but it's how it felt after we were fortunate to find and follow (for a short time) a pod of 5/6 #orca

It’s worth subscribing to the NatureScotland blog, he writes a lot for them and you can read it in Gaelic too.

A little bit 'worn' but beautiful Painted Lady (i think) #butterfly.
Its amazing to think that this is possibly the 2nd (maybe 3rd) generation this year already as part of migration from Africa, to be here in #Scotland. Next generation heads back!
