Will I or won't I?? The Robin (Erithacus rubecula) This little Robin greets me every morning and is becoming more daring and more tame on each visit. This Robin is taking no chances though and here you see it cast a weather eye before digging into the offered meal worms.

The Swallow (Hirundo rustica) This Summer visitor is popular throughout Europe and among all Martins and Swallows is the uncontested master of low level flight. It feeds on larger insects than the Martin or Swift and its cup shaped nest of mud and straw, often found in the vicinity of water, is found in barns, outbuildings and derelict houses.

Man proposes, God disposes... The remains of a Seine net lie on the East Beach at Lossiemouth. This represents a very expensive loss to someone out there but it's doing less harm lying high and dry on the beach rather than lying as an untended trap on the seabed for decades. In the background you can see some of the Seatown cottages.

Greetings on the East Beach There's a fury in the sea today but the sun is shining and there's lots of energy in the air.

It's only a matter of time.. Weathered piles running down to the East Beach have endured well but their days are numbered.

Anyone for ice cream? The figure stands outside the 1629 Restaurant in Clifton Road, Lossiemouth, but it is taken in for the night. I photographed this on a chilly April day when an ice cream was the last thing that I wanted.
