Wha Daur Meddle Wi Me


This weeks local paper The Nairnshire Telegraph has again headlined the subject of Gulls.This is an annual event and has been raised time and time again. I have also posted some comment on the subject of gulls over the years, and for those who are interested you can read my view on THIS LINK 

Faiths ducklings are growing along with the 4 motherless ones, enjoying the summer as long as they have ample supply of fresh water.

 They occasionally like to stay close to me in the doorway if there is any perceived threats. 

Summer weather continues unabated and there are some unusual plant growth dotted around, a particularly stunning Thistle on the riverside caught my eye. Also known as a "Wha daur meddle wi me !"

Life Goes On

The air of depression that descended on me after Faith's death has lifted somewhat, with the arrival of 7 new ducklings on the river. 

I also have faith's 7 ducklings to worry about, and how best to rear them successfully. 
I have also been cheered up by Woody who turns up daily and comes into the kitchen for his sunflower seeds and lettuce, he is starting to develop the white neck flash which apparently appears at 6 months.



 Para the paraplegic pigeon also turns up daily along with 2 other pigeons that I rescued over the past year, it reminds me that not all my rescue attempts are failure's.
Our half yearly Trust meeting will be held later this week, and we will pick the winners of the wildlife photo competition, among other items to be discussed.
