So nice to be on my way home, I love this view - just across the Balachullish bridge, the view from the bus window. Nearly there!

06/08/2024

Beautiful, windy day - wild carrot in the field edges and huge flocks of birds foraging in the just harvested field. Just on the edge of the city.

One person's w**d is another's wildflower - some magnificent 'w**ds' around earlier.

I haven't posted for quite some time. Been spending time in Edinburgh caring for my mum. Been rediscovering my home town and the city is full of interesting wildlife experiences.

Strange fungi? Or sculpture? Found while doing a litter pick around the Oakwood in Corpach. Lovely walk around the nature trail there.

First frogspawn. In a roadside ditch, loads of frogs singing away - really feeling like spring. 🐸

Not quite what you expect. Having to shovel snow out of the boat before we set off this morning. Well done Rob & Henry - good job there were some handy paddles.

18/01/2024

So lucky to get a trip out across Loch Arkaig today, flat calm and such a beautiful light.

16/01/2024

Snow makes everything look beautiful. Glad not to have to go anywhere though.

Due to technical issues we have had to postpone Texa Sim's talk on Lochaber's sea lochs to a later date.
Thank you to Jon Mercer for stepping in. Jon will be talking about Lochaber's Butterflies, followed by our AGM.
We apologise for any inconvenience this change may cause, and look forward to seeing you on Monday.

Such a beautiful morning when we went for our flu jabs had to take a photo, and there was an otter there fishing. Not a bad place for a vaccination clinic. 💉 🦦🗻

We have more time now so we're using it to do some wildlife surveying in the local area. We have an interesting site near Acharacle where we are doing a survey which hasn't been done before. Quite exciting have to access it by kayak. Not many butterflies today but we did find this fabulous caterpillar. (Emperor moth).

We have been running Glenloy Wildlife for 15 years but after much thought have decided that it is time to move on to other things and to sell the lodge. This is not without some regret as we’ve so enjoyed sharing our wonderful wildlife with such lovely people over the years. Hopefully this will not be the end for wildlife watching at Glenloy, and if anyone fancies taking up the challenge & the fun then the opportunity to buy the business is here https://www.business-partnership.com/buy-a-business/?d=Wildlife_Holiday_Business_and_Charming_Guest_House_in_Outstanding_Location,_Fort_William__UK_For_Sale&xbsId=43371&i=businessimg19150_jpg

Up along Drum Laoigh at the weekend, can see all the way to Grey Corries and Nevis Range (our house in the trees at the far end.) Checking out new Butterfly Conservation transect. Lots of small pearl bordered and large heath. Also some exciting other sightings including, white-tailed eagle, black grouse, 4 ring ouzels and skylarks. Butterfly Conservation Scotland

Today's swimming pool.......

15/06/2023

Effects of climate change, very close to home. Forest fire at Camisky been burning since Monday. Still burning despite huge efforts by firefighters, constant sound of helicopters. Really feel for those living nearby, must be very worrying and the smoke is awful.

13/06/2023

Another lovely day for a paddle. Who needs to go on an exotic holiday.

25/05/2023

Beautiful day for a walk in the woods. Doing a recce for the Walk in the wild event on 3rd June. Should be great - forecast to be like this.

26/04/2023

Well worth getting up at 5am this morning. Black grouse lekking enthusiastically and a very obliging otter at Lochymouth. Plus the weather was beautiful, if chilly.

24/04/2023

Lovely day for a bit of invertebrate recording - lovely spider. Looks more like a turtle - don't know what it is yet.

09/04/2023

Happy Easter 🐰🐣

14/03/2023

Cold but beautiful day up the glen. So pleased to sea our resident pair of golden eagles flying. One was enjoying the sunshine and flew around for ages surveying the territory while we suspect the other snuck back to the nest. Even more exciting was a brief sighting of a hen harrier.

Who minds a shopping trip when you get views like this.

My first night back in many weeks and so happy to see the pine martens, I think it must be mum and a fully grown kit. So special.

Seems our garden is quite a busy place when we're not looking. So many different visitors to one place, and one rather unlucky mouse.

Well, we seem to have a new visitor to the garden, what a handsome chap too. So glad to finally have proof that badgers are visiting the garden - and they like peanuts! #gardenwildlife #badgers #scottishwildlife

What better way to say goodbye to the old year and prepare for the new than to immerse yourself in the landscape. Cold but invigorating, beautiful even on a dreich day. Happy Hogmanay to everyone and may 2022 be a happier, and wilder one for you. #wildswimming #wildscotland #nurtureinscotland #winterinscotland #keepscotlandwild #happynewyear2022

Another post from our brilliant trip on the Sheerwater last week. Not just whales but a really playful pod of dolphins, with some really small calves. Just magical. Arisaig Marine #dolphins #YCW2020 @wildscotland_

What a nice surprise our pine marten youngster is exploring and come to visit around the back of the house. So nice to have a teatime visitor. Although he had to go back round the front to get his snack & treat our visitors.🙂

Great to experience the wonderful sight & sounds (can't do smell on video) of the seabird colony on Lunga #treshnishisles . Thanks to @staffa_tours for another great trip. #puffin #seabirds

Woolly bears can move remarkably quickly, presumably warmed up by the sun and keen to avoid being seen by the cuckoo's.#caterpillar #moths #butterflyconservation #springwatch

Mesmerised by the sand martins swooping and soaring over Loch Arkaig and under the White Bridge. #springbirds #springwatch #arkaigcommunityforest #woodlandtrust #birdflight

Red deer Loch Arkaig

I think these stags are expecting something..... looking at us very hungrily. They were all coming running, but only this one was really bold. They get supplementary feeding this year and the snow has brought them down off the hills.

A busy hole in the river bank

Went to retrieve a camera trap from the bank of the river Lochy which had been positioned on what I had thought to be an outlier Badger sett. We were delighted to find out later that it was being used as an Otter holt, with a couple of good images of at least two different Otters coming and going (female using hole and male investigating). We also had a Badger walking past and a rather scruffy Roebuck also investigating. The hole was also used by a vole and a dust-bathing Great Tit!

Just for a change, this is one of the things we can see from our window #AWindowOnScotland #viewfromourwindow #lockdown2020

Pine marten feeding time

Just in case anyone's missing out on seeing pine martens. This is our veteran matriarch, still going strong. She's looking a bit scuffy as she begins to moult, starts at her nose. Wild Scotland #pinemarten #gardenwildlife #lockdownentertainment #scottishwildlife

Moth trapping at Glenloy

As we're missing all our guests at the moment we wanted to share some of the things we regularly do at Glenloy Wildlife. So, why not start in the garden with the moth trap, which Jon sets up throughout the season to monitor which moths are around. It's always fascinating to see what's flying about at night and how beautiful and varied moths are. For anyone wanting the full 'experience' then there's a longer video on YouTube which also includes a squirrel! https://youtu.be/cjnJR9IDRxc UKMoths Butterfly Conservation #covid19wildlife #slowadventure #slowtv Wild Scotland ALS - Moth Traps and Natural History Products Butterflies Of Britain Nature Education programme

Young pine martens with mother

This year's pine marten kits coming out to play with mum. Lovely to see them so bold and adventurous but still sticking close to mum. Our guests were delighted, even if dinner did get cold. #pinemarten #wildlochaber #wildscotland #wildscotlandisnow #scotlandisnow
