What the....................??????

I thought it was slightly amusing when I saw this the first time. But now as this now almost daily event continues I am starting to wonder what this gull is getting out of knocking the hell out the patio window.

Poor Jimmy the gnome is puzzled too....................

    Brilliant! You should send it off to Spring Watch and see if anyone can shed a light on why it would be pecking at your window. I still think its your yummy baking its after though! :-)

    For a number of years a pair of ducks used to do a circuit of the village, stopping to knock on some doors (ours was one of the doors).

    We would open the door to them, they would pop in for a few moments and then carry on their way to the next house, a dozen doors or so along the way. They used to visit about ten houses. They did this every year, and visited the same houses each year.

    I moved for there ten years ago - Now we are visited by black squirrels who scamper all over the thatch each spring.

    Not sure if the gull has heard about the muffins Jamie but reckon you'd give it a run for it's money to get at them.

    Great story about the ducks Alan and now squirrels, excellent. It's certainly been entertaining watching this bird over the past few weeks especially as it doesn't seem to be related to the food that we put out for our small garden birds.

    Should do a Jonny Morris version of this - loved his take on animal behaviour :-)

    Admit it, you had left a butty on the floor to taunt it!

Creag Meagaidh MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

Creag Meagaidh has been on the to do list for so long. The past couple of years have seen us have to abort at least three attempts at the last minute because conditions weren't for us. So were we going to get it done this time................. YES  The weather bods said mostly dry with a risk of potential showers later in the day.  It was warm so even if it did rain it would be warm.  Off we set having smothered ourselves in factor 50 and Smidge. Warm they said.......... baking I said!!!! We had decided our ascent would be via Coire Ardair and The Window to ease us into the walk on a good path.  It felt more like a slow roasting.  It is a gorgeous walk out to Coire Ardair on a very good path but as soon as we were out of the forest the heat and humidity kicked in.  When we reached Lochan Coire Ardair there was only one thing on my mind, getting my boots off and getting in.  It was at this point I began having major doubts as to whether we woul...

Ben Lomond - 8th time lucky

This was my first Munro so many years ago I can't even remember when. It's my local hill. But until today I'd never had a view from on top. There have been days in the past when I knew on leaving the car park I wasn't going to see anything. That was fine, I just wanted out on the hill. It was the days with the promise that I'd get my view and didn't that fed my love hate relationship with this hill. January last year was the last time we visited just after a huge dump of snow. It was a mini epic due to leaving too late, loads of fantastically deep snow and coming down in the dark - fun :-D The forecast had said best south of the A85 with cloud base over 1000m, maybe today was the day I would get a view. The route was inevitable, via Ptarmagin Ridge. For me the tourist route is only ever for descent. One day however I will try out ptc* route as it looks like fun, just not this time. From the drive in we could see that there was still a good covering of snow. It...
