Wild About Ness

Yesterday was much warmer despite the occasional shower, so a friend and I went earlier to our aerobics class so that we could enjoy a stroll together.  We decided to go and have a stroll around a display at Sport Ness.  Wild About Ness.


As you go up the stairs there were outline silhouettes of birds that can be seen in the area.




These are just a few that are on display.  The landing then leads onto a Children's area, where local children have crafted local wildlife.  There is also several child friendly displays.







Along the corridor were a wonderful array of photographs each group sponsored by local firms/groups and taken by local photographers.







Just a sample of some of the displays and well worth a visit should you be in the area.  Entrance is free but there is a box for donations if you wish.

I have been struggling with how to reply to comments/questions for sometime and have tried different ways.  From this I have decided that I will reply on my next post for a while and see if this works.  To this end here are replies from my previous post:

I used to do craft fairs but since moving here to the Isle of Lewis I no longer sell my craftwork.  We have been too busy with our cottage and other projects so I craft for family and friends now.

I don't mind anyone using my patterns or copying something that I do, I am honoured that you take inspiration from my work.

I think the lace/buttons would make amazing napkin rings, simply glue them to either plastic or wooden rings.

We do have the same saying Red skies at night...but I would say Shepherds delight rather than Sailor.

As always I do thank you for your visit here and your continued interest and comments. 

See you soon.

  1. I like the idea of bird outlines as that is how we see a good amount of them. We are trying to make our ginger loaf last all week!

  3. What a great display, it certainly demonstrates just how much there is to see in the area, and that's wildlife alone. You live in such a wonderful place.

  5. What an interesting place to visit ! I like the otters they are so cute !
    If you answer questions on your blog most of the people don't come back to visit a blog twice, as I do. I comment but never come back otherwise it would take to much time. If you visit 5 blogs and you have to come back then it makes 10 visits and no time for others. I reply by email if there is a question or an explanation to give. Most of the bloggers have an email and that it easy. I read the comment and I answer right away.

  6. Now that is the kind of exhibition that I like. I love anything to do with nature/wildlife etc. We have a very small, permanent RSPB exhibit at Fair Haven Lake. Best, Jane x

  10. That is a cool display. I’m always trying to figure out what bird is flying...crows and turkey vultures I have figured out. Interesting turn of phrase especially since you’re on an island dependant upon those sailors. We say,” Red sky at morning, sailors take warning; red skies at night, sailors delight.” And I have seen it proven false quite often! ☺️

  11. You do have Birds of Prey! And your chickens can roam free! How lucky you are!!!

    Now I have to look up "Ness"! :-) When I hear it, I think of Loch Ness and etc. But there are obviously more than one "Ness".

    Happy Full Super Snow Moon!

  13. "Struggling with how to reply to comments/questions..."

    Guess all bloggers, deal with this.

    I choose _not_ to "reply," in my own blog Comments. Because this presumes, that the Dear Reader, has to come back, and look at that post's Comments, _again_. I don't. I don't have the time to do that.

    My way of "Saying Thank You," to those who Comment on my blog, is to Read/Comment in their blog.

    S-i-m-p-l-e...

    And if a Dear Reader asks a question, I reply to it, in _their_ blog Comments. Give a link to the post, where they asked... So if they forget, like I do, they can click the link, and have their memory refreshed.

    Just sayin'.....

    Happy Full Super Snow Moon!

  14. I too struggle with replying to comments as people tend to ask similar things. I had only this morning considered replying in a blog post and will adopt that too.

  17. I'm glad you and your friend were able to have an adventure before your exercise class.. you are such a go-getter! I'm also having trouble with blogger.. I used to get my comments emailed to me to approve.. and I could email back if there was a question. But that just disappeared after blogger made some changes and then many people can't comment anymore.. what a mess. But I do try to visit and comment on all bloggers that comment on mine. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

  18. what an adventure! I answer people's questions on the blog post in the comments, I figure if they want to see the answer they will check back. Blogger is lacking at making it easy.

  23. Nice place to visit with your friend. I miss being a vendor at times. I sold my photography. Mostly smaller pieces which usually didn't make much profit. Now I'm in to other things.

  24. This is a wonderful learning centre for all ages. It's good that so many groups have got involved with putting the displays together. Wishing you a good weekend.
