Common Seal

Seals are abundant in Cromarty Firth and conveniently take their ease right next to the A9! Wildlife is wonderful here, within a week and without making any special effort, I have been able to photograph three marvellous species.
At other times I've seen an osprey struggling for height over the Firth, with a large wriggling fish in its talons, a pine marten with a lovely bushy tail and rich chocolate coloured coat, watching me drive past. If the weather was decent, everyone would want to live here!

Joe--I really love your photos; they remind me of my two wonderful trips to Scotland. I found your blog completely by accident when I was checking on the spelling of "dreich"! I'll definitely be checking in from time to time. And thanks for turning me on to "Overheard Everywhere"! Hysterical. Rob in Boston

Rob, Thanks for your kind comments, I'm really pleased that you enjoy the pictures. I never imagined that 'Dreich' would get a response from anyone, thank you Google!
