I finally caught up with this Little Egret.
It has now spent a couple of days in this water saturated meadow.
The RSPB website says they eat fish but this one is happy picking away here.
(It is only about 6 miles from Birmingham City Centre, UK!)
DiscoverScotland Website - Situated on the hilltops near Cairnhead are three sandstone arches known as the Striding Arches.
The arches were designed by landscape artist Andy Goldsworthy. Each arch, located at the Byre, Locharbriggs Quarry and Yorkshire Sculpture Park, was built from red sandstone sourced from Dumfries. The structures consisted of 31 blocks weighing 27 tons, standing at 4 meters high and spanning across seven meters.
Andy has also had these structures built in other corners of the world, including Canada, the United States and New Zealand. This was to represent Scots emigrating to these parts of the world over the last 200 years.

A smaller scene I built as my entry for the 2023 MELO contest. I was a bit short on time for this but I think the end result presents a nice scenery of Aragorns iconic entrance to the Lotr-saga.

An early start meant a pleasantly quiet crossing of Striding Edge and very few people on the summit of Helvellyn.

I've recently returned home from a wonderful week spent in the Southern Uplands of Scotland; my first trip away in over a year. This was a picture I've had planned for a few years, but wasn't expecting to experience the conditions I was hoping for during this visit. However, with a promising forecast the evening before, I decided to set my alarm and head out early up to this viewpoint to capture the sunrise - and I certainly was pleased I made the effort.
This sculpture is one of the Striding Arches dotted around the summits in this area, and lies along the route of Southern Upland Way on the top of Benbrack. Look closely, and you can also spot the highest of the arches on nearby Colt Hill to the left.
A small gap in the clouds on the horizon allowed the early morning sun to appear for only a few minutes, before disappearing again. Those few moments were truly stunning as I watched the sun appear through the archway, looking almost like a heavenly gateway with the light beaming through.
