I popped down to the recycling village today to get rid of some wood and found this guy in the middle of a busy path.
I was petrified that they would get stood on and there was no safe place to relocate them nearby, so I brought them home and put them in our garden.

Return to the Rhinns!
Last year we took Baker on holiday to the Rhinns of Galloway for his 10th birthday in August.
He enjoyed it so much that we decided to go back this year!
We arrived in the early afternoon, and this was our first evening at the campsite.

On day 2 of our camping adventure we decided to take the short drive over to Portpatrick and do our 'Treasure Trail' that we'd brought with us.
It ended up being a lot busier than I'd expected and the weather was insane, super hot with an intense fog, so I was quite overwhelmed.
However, we managed to find some hidden gems due to the trail and spotted some gorgeous wildlife, including Black Guillemots which I have never seen before!

This morning we went back to the bay that Baker and I swam in a year previously for another swim.
The three of us only managed a short time in the water because the high tide was approaching and it was a very pebbly beach which was difficult to walk on.
We were happy to see that there were still lots of Gannets around though and also spotted a ladybug, A Greenfinch and some Linnets (from afar, they were not easy to photograph!) which was another first for me.
As our day at the sea was cut short, we decided to have a drive and ended up at Port Ryan, an absolute highlight of our holiday.
It was relatively quiet, a perfect temperature and just beautiful!
We saw (what I'm hazarding a guess as being) a juvenile Stonechat as soon as we left the car, then an adult a little later on as well as another bird on the rocks that I'm struggling to identify - possibly a Skylark...though it could be wishful thinking and it might just be a Thrush.
Ending our day with a rainy evening at camp we enjoyed the company of the sheep and a wet little Robin stopped by.

Upon arriving home today, we were happy to see both of our Raspberry plants doing very well!

I've missed all of my little birdy friends!
Mr Blackbird brining his baby to the garden was a lovely treat today.

I didn't know if we'd get a visit from the wasps who strip the bamboo on our fence during this 30 Days Wild, but this beauty didn't let us down!
We saw a lovely sky on our way to bed too.
