Daisy family
The plant was first introduced to the UK in medieval times as a medicinal herb but it has now naturalised across most of Eastern Scotland. It was thought that it gave men the power to destroy wild beasts hence it's common name Leopards Bane as it was once used as a poison and added to raw meat for bait.
You can find it growing on the edges of woodlands and on grassy roadside verges and not far from home it turns one steep roadside bank into bright yellow from late Spring into early May. Here it drifts undisturbed in dappled shade as it is detested by the rabbits and deer that graze in the surrounding fields.

There is never a photograph that I would miss just because it is only say a chaffinch, each image has a quality and a splendour all of it's own

Nicknamed the Barn door.

The White-tailed Eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) has attained iconic status on the Isle of Mull, thanks to the determined action of conservationists keen to see this magnificent raptor once again hunting and soaring over the island’s sea lochs and mountains.
After a prolonged period of persecution during Victorian times, when large numbers of the area’s birds of prey were shot for trophies, poisoned or had their eggs stolen, the White-tailed Eagle was finally exterminated as a British breeding species in 1916.
