So it’s a week since the Aurora. This panorama is from last Friday night and is a stitch of sixteen shots taken randomly towards the general direction. The actual Aurora covered the sky from around east to southwest so the only way to get the full arc with the zenith and the columns was by doing this panorama. For the nerds this was stitched with shots using a 16mm FF lens at f2.8, ISO400 and 5 second exposures

A few photographs from our visit to the National Reserve in yesterday.

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.

The Bass of Inverurie, standing within a cemetery at the southern end of Inverurie in Aberdeenshire: all that remains of a motte and bailey castle built by the Earls of Garioch in the 1100s and used by Robert the Bruce in May 1308.

The Sunhoney recumbent stone circle, standing in a copse of trees near Echt in Aberdeenshire and apparently largely undisturbed since it was placed here over 4,000 years ago. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/echt/sunhoneycircle/index.html

This female red squirrel has been around a lot lately spending time feeding. It’s the time of year that these reds will have young and her teets are quite pronounced. Hopefully, she has some offspring to look after back at the dray

Huntly Castle in Aberdeenshire, which has seen more than its share of conflict and history. Over a period of six centuries four different castles in three slightly different locations under two different names were attacked eight times.

Three more ruined Aberdeenshire recumbent stone circles for today's

Ardlair (top two), the mighty Stonehead, and Wantonwells.

Visited March 2011.

The fallen stones of Ardlair circle in a ring, with the recumbent and flankers on the left. Looking towards a high hill (Tap o' Noth) covered in snow.
Stonehead; a huge recumbent stone between two very tall, tapering flankers standing at either end. The stones are set in a grassy field. The sky is blue but the sunshine is weak.
Wantonwells. A single, pointed flanker stands on the left, with a large recumbent stone lying lengthways in the centre foreground. Fallen stones lie behind. The setting is a scrubby, overgrown field. A conical hill with a squat tower on its top (Dunnideer) forms the backdrop.

Northern gannets making their way back to Troup Head yesterday. Some on the cliffs but most in the air or on the sea

A fine 2.5m monolith for today's - this is Lulach's Stone in Aberdeenshire. Sweeping views to Tap o' Noth. The stone is said to commemorate Macbeth's stepson, who was killed in battle, although the stone is more likely a much earlier monument. In folklore it's reported to have crushed a treasure-seeker to death.

Visited March 2011.

One of the red squirrels that comes in to feed on the nuts - it’ll be time to start shedding the winter coat soon. The damage to the nut box has been caused by the local woodpeckers……

If you look at the Orion constellation there are the distinctive stars forming the belt and sword in the centre. The middle “star” of the sword is actually the Orion Nebula - M42. This is that nebula. One of the brightest it is also the closest star forming region to earth. This is a composite of 290x10s shots stacked from last night #ZWO #SeestarS50 #Aberdeenshire #Scotland #Orion #Astro
