Name:
Location: Offshore, United Kingdom

I'm an indecisive, stubborn, fiercely independent person who is saving up to be eccentric. In the meantime, I can variously be found living in scattered locations, taking up hare-brained schemes, and plotting an escape from reality. This must be the furthest I've got so far.

The birds and the bees...


OK, not the birds, and the bees, the deer and the seals.
Yet to see the full range of wildlife up here, so only have pictures of the easy to spot ones:








Seals: mostly to be found sunbathing on the rocks at the end of the day, at Portnehaven or near Ardbeg.

Deers: Red ones like these, hopefully fenced in on one of the estates and not bouncing off the road in front of a car.












Yet to be seen are the Golden eagles (have to be up in the hills for that)
Otters (have to be up early in the morning)
Numerous sea birds (have to know what you are looking for)
Will not be seen on Islay: Badgers and foxes - apparently. I can't believe a fox has never sneaked over on the ferry. There was once a wallaby here though.
