| | | Hello from the Highlands
Hi all, just joined today. I live near Torridon, in Wester Ross, a beautiful part of the north west scottish highlands.
Live with my other half and our 3 wonderful children and we are all passionate about nature, wildlife. We are hoping to grow our own veg this year and make our garden as wildlife friendly as possible.
We all love photography and enjoy taking pictures of our amazing landscape and local wildlife. Our highlight this week, was our first sighting of a golden eagle, sadly no camera but we all sat and watched it soaring above us. |

Welcome to the board.
I live on the other side of the country in North Aberdeenshire and the opportunity for seeing the wildlife is great. Do you have problems with the midgies in Torridon? |
