5th June – Another Harbour Porpoise sighting today. I’m not sure if numbers are increasing or I’m just getting better at spotting them. There were two animals passing by today but only got one in shot.
8th June – We had a visit from the entire Shorewatch team from Spey Bay and some members of the WDC management team. It was great to meet them all and put faces to names.
A doubly successful visit as three Harbour Porpoises turned up as well and cruised passed the site.
12th June – A glorious day here in Stromness and the front border is basking in the sunshine.
Nice to see a Red Admiral enjoying the nectar in the sea pinks. Things have been late flowering this year so the butterflies and bees have some catching up to do.
19th June – Our friends, Kevin and Marilyn from Stenness, were travelling to Scrabster on the Hamnavoe this morning. As they passed by they spotted me sitting on the bench and managed to get a photo. Considering it was taken through the ferry’s grubby window it’s not a bad shot.
It’s an interesting perspective as it shows a lot of the buildings at the Ness Battery, which you can’t actually see from the house.
21st June – The warm, sunny weather is continuing unabated. We were passing through Orphir this afternoon and spotted these ponies enjoying the sunshine in a field of buttercups.
