September storms and some sunshine

September slipped by in a haze of storms punctuated with sunshine, weeks split into pieces with new and familiar guests arriving and leaving. And suddenly it is the end of the month.    Here are a few photographs from the month.


A few calm days, great for drone practise!



The Rowans are loaded with berries this year.


This young 'hen' has turned out to be a cockerel ?


Good days for washing and drying!



SO many Rock doves.  They spend the day waiting for the hens to be fed and the bird feeders to be filled up.  They have learned to hover like humming birds on the bird feeders.


With the lambs away the ewes can recover some energy.



Not so the cows.  The calves are still with their mothers, sneaking up on them for a drink whenever they can!



Not a very glamorous job but it has to be done.  Our septic tank has not been emptied since we moved here.   There is now a company coming to the island who have a small bowser so can drive across the field.   Even so, Farmer had to pull them out as they got stuck.


Calm days. And the Eilean Ban from Croig is out below the house.



And after the storm, the seaweed.



And a sunset to cry for.


Autumn light..

....Ulva Ferry.


...Loch na keal..



.....Loch Scridain.
