......... in this case birds! I have been looking at so many pictures of ducks, I am starting to quack, but I still don't know what this is. It was swimming in the River Teviot this morning
I also haven't been able to identify this bird, which was bobbing about at the water's edge. It looked similar to a wagtail, but with stiking yellow flashes
However, I didn't need any help to identify this next bird - the heron
I thought I should take a photo of this old mill, as it is scheduled for demoltion ...... although hopefully the clock tower will be saved. The building is a victim of the economic downturn - it was going to be developed into apartments, but those plans fell through, and the building fell further and further into disrepair. It will be sad to see another little bit of Hawick's rich history disappear
These two handsome dogs were patiently waiting for their owner outside the supermarket - I guess their owner didn't see the item on the news yesterday about dogs being stolen and large amounts of money being demanded for their safe return
Back home, the birds haven't been put off by the appearance of the owls round the bird table, and were tucking in when I took these photos after lunch
Summer is now officially over, and one of the horses in the field across the road already has its coat on!
To finish - why do these ripening elderberries not fill me with joy ....... because it means that soon my car will be covered in purple bird poo!!
