Facing down the weather bomb


Much of the West coast was braced for the "weather bomb" that was due to hit midweek. The swell chart below illustrates what we were looking at, red arrow pointing at where Oronsay is. It was fairly wild for a couple of days but nothing major.


Below, the storm damage - We will rebuild.




On Wednesday we went out and about in the land rover to see what was going on around the south end of the island, hoping for lots of birds.




Huge waves but not a lot else really - made for some good photos. Islay in the background there.


This lamb was brought into the shed during the worst of it. We found it a few weeks ago in a bit of a sorry state but it has made a remarkable recovery.


Female chaffinch in the woods today after the peanuts in the feeder that's out.
