Another Salmagundi or Gallimaufry

I haven't been far from home this week on account of appointments. I have however got out and about my home town of Newton Stewart, and I've taken pictures (I like the swallows)

I'll start with this aeroplane

This belongs to Scottish Airway Flyers and is based at Prestwick airport.

It's an interesting concept. Owned by a cooperative of around twenty five pilots, it's sole aim is to provide an aircraft for shareholders to fly at minimal expense.

This hare is sitting on the track of the old railway into Newton Stewart

Now some horses.

These are in a field very close to my house.

I'm not sure what this animal is, but it's in the woods above Barrhill farm

Flowing down the Cree

I may retrieve it on one of my coastal walks

Welcome to Newton Stewart

Just off the A75 at the turn off for Minnigaff

Birds next

My neighbours regular visitors

The next few are of the swallow family

I heard on the news today it's been a bad breeding season for swifts this year.

There's plenty swallows around still.

(All wild apart from one)

There's one thing about the rain, it certainly brings growth.
