Just had my helping of haggis and neeps, looking back at the ingredients of the said haggis, well that's a different story. Like the rest of Scotland , the weather today has not been top drawer stuff, we have just had a lot of rain, over an inch, and it it is still raining!! Just as well that I had some sightings in reserve. Yesterday, up past Ballinaby, Michal had a Golden Eagle having a tough time being mobbed by 2 Buzzards and also a couple of Ravens.
