Marsh Fritillary are on the wing and in really good numbers. The most beautiful of all the butterflies. I sat in a gorgeous patch of orchids for well over 3 hours surrounded by them and it was glorious 🥰🥰🥰💚💚💚 Isle of Bute #ilovebute #ilovenature

I was treated to some beautiful Osprey action on my pre work cycle up round Loch Fad this morning. It took about 20ish mins and a few aborted dives before this stunner was heading off with quite a catch 🥰💚 Isle of Bute #ilovebute #ilovenature #birds #birding

Another glorious catch up with this wee stunning otter family at the weekend on another really beautiful day on the Isle of Bute. Lots of interesting prey devoured including a young conger eel, which the cubs had a comical tug of war over before it was munched 🥰🦦💚 #ilovebute

It had been 6 weeks since I last saw this wee bundle so it was an absolute joy to spend an amazing 5 hours with them yesterday. The cubs are now catching their own food so it was a constant flow of crabs and fish being brought to the shore. A glorious catch up on a glorious day 🥰🦦💚 #ilovebute

There was no sign of my wee bundle of Otters this morning but this wee one was enjoying a feed on the same shore so I was more than happy to hunker down for the duration and watch 🥰🦦💚 Isle of Bute #ilovebute #iloveotters #ilovenature

One of those really incredible moments on Saturday morning. Two Otter cubs sitting on a rock feeding away on front of me and mum heading towards the shore with another fish,I looked up just in time to see an immature White-tailed Eagle fly past and carry on down the shore 🥰😍💚 ##ilovenature

It was such a lovely catch up with this wee bundle this morning. An amazing 4 hours spent watching them feed, groom and just have lots of Ottery fun. An absolute joy to spend time with them 🥰🦦💚 Isle of Bute #ilovebute #iloveotters #ilovenature

It was a beautiful encounter Tanya. I was really hoping this Otter was going to have cubs this year. It's her 5th litter since I started following her 🥰🥰🥰🦦💚
