The object of writing this diary is to inform anyone visiting my website of the various wildlife subjects that i encounter throughout the year. Many can be found in or around the haven i have created where i live, Tigh an Uillt (house by the stream). I will mention Tigh an Uillt regularly, and i thought it would be a good idea to let you all know what this is now,rather than explaining every time it is mentioned.

Another Gaelic word you will encounter on a regular basis is Seonaidh, roughly pronounced Shawney. This is the name of my dog, a two year old Springer Spaniel who accompanies me on all my walks, whether it is a short stroll around the local lochs, or a longer treck to some of the remotest parts of these islands.
