It was a true delight to see our local swans with seven one-week old cygnets on the river yesterday.
Wishing you all a blessed Sunday and a peaceful week ahead,

Weekend Prompts Weekly Challenge: Favourites
We were treated to a rare visit by basking sharks yesterday who came to feed on the plankton in the Moray Firth before starting their long migration to warmer climes.
They were swimming and feeding close to paddle boarders, kayaks and sailing boats and the people aboard featured in many of my photographs as a result.
If you recognise yourself in the image above or the slideshow below please get in touch through the contact form and I’ll be happy to send you a copy of the photograph.
We were watching from the shore and it was lovely to see these gentle giants.
Wishing you all a wonderful Wednesday,

It is a treat to see how patient herons are when using these trusted old methods to catch a new meal every day.
At the same I felt for the small fish and said a few prayers for him and his family.

These mallard ducks seemed to enjoy themselves, splashing in the tidal flows of the river.
