A few from one of the highlights of our week each week - the Thursday trip to Soay aboard the Sheerwater. A two hour boat ride away from Rum and back again with our Rum Ranger aboard to help us spot bird and sealife.

 |
| dolphins, a very frequent sight. We were lucky enough to witness the SuperPod that has been in the area a couple of weeks running, a truly magical experience. |
 |
| blurry but still beautiful |
 |
| more with the ranger, we were lucky enough to join in with some bird ringing. |
 |
| a gratuitous shot of Star just because she is gorgeous and this photo makes me smile! |
 |
| waiting for the blow! we've seen minke whales the last 3 weeks running, totally spectacular to be so close to such amazing creatures within a couple of miles of our home. |
 |
| being a caterpillar! Cousins enjoying a Biodiversity Event with Ranger Mike |
 |
| more of the same, the biodiversity race, a firm fave with us here :) |
 |
| wildlife spotting, while cousins were here we saw a wide array of seabirds and some minke whales and porpoises |
 |
| eggs! It's been pancakes for lunch very regularly here at the croft!We have a broody hen currently sitting on a clutch of eggs so may well have our first croft 'birth' sometime soon :) |
 |
| We had the most excellent Elsa Jean McTaggart playing a gig here last weekend which had all us Rumics up and dancing. The menfolk were not at all shy in getting on the dancefloor - young and old! |
 |
| and the rest of us quickly joined them with a ceilidh taking us far into Saturday morning |
 |
