A rare moment to capture, here a pair of woodpeckers, the parent feeding one of this year's youngsters. The woodpeckers are regulars at Four Oaks and are often seen on the nut feeders, but usually only one at a time.

Our attempt at a wild flower meadow in the garden is going quite well this summer, so well that we've had to clear a path through the ox-eye daisies to reach the bird feeder.

Out for a short walk today, the trees are in flower and the new lambs are growing fast.

One of the many lambs running around in our field, this one is unusual because of the saddle marking, more typically it is just the head and legs that have the black wool.

Nearby Glen Lonan is usually a great place to see Highland cows and this was no exception. Here we were up close to this cute calf and the very impressive bull.

This is a snowy Ben Cruachan, as seen from our deck in the glow of the late evening light. It has been looking like this for a wee while but as it's getting warmer I suspect we'll soon be saying goodbye to the snow.

Sunny day here with blue skies and a lovely range of orange hues in the trees, one of those days that instils joy.

This woodpecker is one of our regulars here at Four Oaks. This is an adult male, he's not too difficult to see but his rapid movements and fast flight can make it tricky to get a good photo.

Incoming! The woodpecker is trying to have the nuts to himself but this brave little goldfinch thinks there are enough to share.

It can get busy around our bird feeders, here a ewe and her twin lambs have displaced two ducks who are looking somewhat annoyed that their feed has been interrupted.

This pheasant must be our most colourful visitor at the moment, he really brightens up the garden.

Sheep quietly enjoying some morning sun as they sit on our track here at Four Oaks. They will be lambing over the next couple of weeks.
