A sunny Sunday in Glenloy - brings out the butterflies and other beasties. Lots of Chequered Skippers and Small Pearl Bordered fritillaries - but also slow worms, lizards, moths and other butterflies. Not bad for our home patch and the views are pretty good too - there's a great opportunity here for anyone who fancies lifestyle change. https://www.auctionhouse.co.uk/scotland/auction/lot/149461

Surprising what turns up on your doorstep sometimes. Usually to be seen on the peanut feeders, this one is obviously looking for more...

Some people might not think Fort William has much to offer in the winter but sometimes that's when you get the best wildlife experiences. This is one very memorable moment when we watched an otter eating a skate right by the side of the main road. One more reason this is such a special place to live. https://www.auctionhouse.co.uk/scotland/auction/lot/149461

BBC Springwatch Chris Packham come summer the pine martens in Scotland can't afford to be nocturnal, kits to feed and too much daylight. Females can often be seen any time of day but usually evenings before they turn up for peanut butter.

Pine martens still coming every evening, even in the rain. This one looking slightly bedraggled as it's also moulting the last of its winter coat.

The view from the road end is even more stunning in the evening light. With the sun just reflecting off the mountains.

On days like this you can really appreciate having a swimming pool just metres from the garden gate.

Many fabulous memories from our time at Glenloy Lodge. This is one of my favourites, three pine marten kits playing in the plant pot at the bottom of the front door steps. The hydrangeas might have suffered but our guests were delighted. We'd so love for someone else to be able to start making new memories. https://www.auctionhouse.co.uk/scotland/auction/lot/148745
