A few photographs from our visit to the #Forvie National #Nature Reserve in #Aberdeenshire yesterday.

Two sanderlings and a dunelin fly over the sea. The birds are in sharp focus against the 1:2 sky:sea.
A young herring gull with mottled juvenile plumage flies overhead against a deep blue sky with its feathers backlit by the sun.
A sunlit seal, its head well above the water, looks inquisitively at the camera.
A flock of two dozen ringed plovers fly over the sea. The breaking waves beneath and the grass-covered dunes with blue sky are in the background.

Guardian Balanced reporting

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/may/02/the-snp-are-in-trouble-scottish-voters-on-the-drama-at-holyrood-john-swinney-humza-yousaf

If anyone has ever taken the trouble to read the comments (when allowed) below any article on Scotland will have realised, many, if not all, readers (they definitely seem to have done so) take a rather different view.

One more for their collection of ‘balanced articles' I suppose, along with Crace, Rowson and many more.

I knew that steel magnate Carnegie’s money was important in Scotland but don’t think I fully realized the scale. In the 1920s-1930s it apparently paid the fees of some 40% of full time university students in Scotland. (From Lindsay Paterson, Scottish Education in the Twentieth Century, p80) #scotland

"Police in Scotland have been put on alert because of the high risks of street protests and attempts by pro-refugee campaigners to stop detentions.

Local communities in Scotland have twice prevented deportations by staging mass protests on Kenmure Street in Glasgow, in May 2021, and in Nicolson Square, Edinburgh, in June 2022."

We need the spirit of Kenmure Street across the UK.

It's been a while, and I missed the best of the evening by a whisker, but still got a good runner-up display around 0020hrs.
