"My skulls" section is finished !

Dad has finished photographing almost all my skulls, and I've put them on my blog so you can see. There are 65 of them so far, and you can see them all here or by clicking on "My skulls" at the top of every page.

Some great bones in the post !

This week I got some great bones in the post. They were from a nice man called Bob Erlam who read about me in the newspaper.

I'm a little bit famous ! (Updated!)

Last week I wrote about being in newspapers. More has happened since then so I have written about my whole week again:

This week has been a really good week because I've been on the TV, on the radio, and been in three newspapers ! This is how my week has been:

• Sunday

On Sunday there was a story about me in the Mail on Sunday. I'd spoken to a journalist called George a few days before, and then dad took the pictures because he used to work for newspapers. Dad woke me up early to show me the newspaper, and I thought it was a dream and went back to sleep ! Then when I woke up again, Mum showed me the newspaper again, and I was really, really happy.

Cleaning the seven point red deer skull

This is the cleaned-up red deer skull that I found in Dougal's Cairn wood when I was walking with mum. It was partly buried in the ground, which is why it looked filthy and dirty when I first found it.

Birds that live near water

This year I've been spotting more and more birds on walks. Here are some of the ones that I've seen near to rivers or lochs.

The strange bird above is a grey heron. I saw that one in the loch at the university and it had a nest, but I seen others in the fields near the castle, and over by the pheasant woods. It is very big and has a long neck which it uses to get fish out of the water to eat.

Digging up the hedgehog

Two months ago, I wrote about when Dad brought a hedgehog home that he had found on the road and thought was a bit sick. We put in in a warm box and gave it food and water but it still died.

Strange bones #6 - the odd skull

I found this strange bone about a month ago, at the edge of Suicides Graves wood. When I first picked it up, it confused me because of the size. Then I realised it wasn't an entire skull, only half of one, and that helped me work out what it was.

My coolest bird skull yet

On Monday, Dad went out early for a walk to photograph red deer on the Titus Well moor. As he was coming back, he took a new path through the woods, and found this skull in a ditch. It has a long bill like an oystercatcher, and that was what he thought it was.

A brilliant surprise present

Me and dad were out walking very early this morning to watch roe deer just beyond the Pheasant Woods. On the way back, I spotted a key and a keyring lying on a farm track and I spotted it and not dad because dad is so blind.

Two brilliant sheep skulls

I have found sheep skulls before, but last weekend and this weekend I think I've found the best yet.

The one at the top was from early last Sunday morning. Dad and I were watching a herd of red deer on Titus Well moor, high above my village. We found parts of sheep skeleton, and we were really excited because we thought we had found a perfect skull, with both horns and both parts of the jaw. But we looked and looked and couldn't find the other part of the jaw ! It was disappointing, but it's cool all the same, and it's horns are the biggest I've found yet.
