Blue skys in Edinburgh this morning, wishing my day away so I can get away on a weekend away, looking forward to finding places to photograph the 75 on the Fife Coast.

Grey skies here, looks like it could rain but none forecast.

Got a grey squirrel (bushy tailed rat!) taking big chances here. I have no idea how but its getting onto the feeders despite the anti climb dome. Chased it several times, its not that its eating the seeds but its the damage it does to the feeders, they gnaw at the openings in the feeders to get more seeds out.

How about hanging a water filled balloon above the feeder and shooting that when the squirrel is underneath?

Ahhh! The trusty TX200. The choice of champions and SWAT teams everywhere (great for taking out street lamps so that you need infra red vision!). I had one until my dizziness forced me to give up shooting (still have my "Top Gun" Trophy somewhere! (Fluke!)

What a gloomy day, Haven't switched the house lights off since I got up first thing this morning.

A big turkey leg roasting in the oven for soup duties.

Finally managed to book a booster vaccination jab at the local rugby club for next Wednesday instead of being offered places that are miles away.
