We had a close encounter with a young buzzard today. I guess the poor wee thing had flown into our balcony window, although neither of us heard the bang. He (I have no idea how to determine the s*x of a young buzzard so I am going to presume he's a he) sat there quietly on the deck as I approached him. I got all gloved up, just in case - what a jessie! He made just a gentle protest as I picked him up and then stood on my outstretched arm for perhaps 10 seconds, unrestrained, before catching the wind and soaring above the house, none the worse for our chance meeting. During that brief moment, however, he turned his head very deliberately and looked at me with those raptor eyes. I got the distinct impression I was being evaluated as a food source! Very special experience and delighted he wasn't harmed.

Creativity of a different sort - I've built a stone jetty on Loch Dalbeg! I used the stone that I cleared from the whitehouse ruin last year. Quite challenging to do the stones at the loch end. I hadn't foreseen that when the water comes almost to my chest, my arms aren't long enough to reach the bottom without getting completely soaked! Silly boy. I also failed to anticipate the fact that when I dropped a stone into position on the loch bed, all the silt gets disturbed and you can't see where to go next. Still, got there in the end and people walking the croft are already getting a little closer to the lilies.
