A couple of redshanks were feeding along the shoreline at North Kessock in a brisk wind and very bright sunshine.


A sparrowhawk cruised over, and a grey wagtail was on the slipway.


Tonight at home, I thought I heard a tawny owl hoot; but when I opened the door I heard nothing more, and the cold glitter of the faraway stars depressed me, so I quickly closed it.
