Mystery solved! I've been trying to get to know my new home area, and on one of my numerous recce trips had passed this farmyard out at Newton of Ardtoe, and wondered why there was an ex RAF SEAKING search and rescue helicopter residing next to a cattle shed. In the absence of anyone around I was left wondering until today when a local, liberally spattered in cow sh!t came out of a nearby house with his wife, and I was able to ask him. Well Gordon told me it had been bought by a local fisherman who had a vision to convert it into a snack shack or an AirBnB. Ah yes, what a good idea....and then it transpired this was not just any local fisherman but one who lives 20 yards over my garden fence. Thankfully, I know there is no room near us to move a redundant ex RAF SEAKING search and rescue helicopter to, but said neighbour does not have the best reputation in these parts for maintaining the peace. Quite how it landed in the back o'beyond remains a mystery. These things are BIG!. But I'm discovering there are many colourful locals in these parts and strange things do happen.
You should never underestimate farmers and fishermen in these parts. Next to the helicopter the farmer is building his own SpaceX Mars rocket rival

A few months later, this vintage signal was removed.
Like most who spend time on a safari in Africa our itinerary included a visit to a Masai village. I am sure that there were many aspects of village life that were staged for the benefit of their visitors however I am likewise happy in the knowledge that we benefitted from an insight into an entirely different way of life. At this point during our visit the gaggle of tourists were watching a dance by the local men. I however turned around and spotted these kids hanging out on what looks like an old termite mound. A couple of the young girls look as though they might have been dressed for the cameras but the lads look like they are in their everyday playing out clothes.

Today on my lunch break I nipped down to the Water Gardens, in search for the local celebrity Kingfisher. After a little patience the little fella made a brief appearance. I got very lucky with the place he chose to perch.
I might have to go down town again tomorrow to see if I can improve on this and perhaps (if I'm lucky) get a shot with a fish in his mouth :-)
