Whatter morning!!! I set off for my regular morning wander near Ardersier and, for some reason decided to take the tripod. Then this happened! 😃😃😃😃😃 My first ever sea otter munching on the shoreline 🥰🥰 #Ardersier #scottishwildife #highlands #otters #Scotland #nature #naturephotography

I’m no fungus expert, but I think this very lovely fungus is Hygrocybe acutoconica, Wax-cap family. (Formerly called Hygrocybe persistens.) The stem can vary from pale to deep red. By the cycle track Doune to Dunblane yesterday. #ScottishWildife #FungiUK
