The Rinns Lighthouse

Photographed this lunchtime with some amazing sunlight well to the south shining beneath lowering clouds. And for those who like some natural history in the photographs on this blog, I've included a single Herring Gull!

Herring Gull nest

This Herring gull nest was on one of the pillars of the old herring processing factory at Tayvullin earlier today

Herring Gull Banging at Window

Our, frankly rather irritating, Herring Gull is back.  I think it was round about this time last year that he (she?) first made an appearance, banging loudly on one of our our bedroom windows at Lorgba.  All very friendly (even vaguely amusing) at first, but the novelty soon wears off, and it is really irritating if it starts at five in the morning...
