  • Pink Pig Farm?  LOL!!!!!!!!

    Our herring gulls are red listed birds.  Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.

  • Alan. An unsual one on the Isle of Mull last week.  (6/5/15) If Arthur hasn't seen one in two years over there it must be a pretty rare occurrence.

  • Thanks Mike. I don't recall any other sightings on Mull although there have been the odd one or two on other Islands in North west Scotland.

  • It's Blue 3J at Ferry Meadows. How brilliant is that?
