How lovely to see happy Blackpuddings - they were obviously not stressed when they were caught humanely - like the Haggis - if they are caught in season then it is OK and the hunters should not be criticised by the Vegetarians and Vegans ( "we would never eat anything with a face " ).Were they trapped ,oggy, or gassed ?
I used to lay a trail of alcohol soaked seed for them before clubbing them sympathetically..........................
Oh what fun we had !!

This time of the year they would be "cuddling" or "nurdling" - in readiness for the extended Spring mating season - this means that,because of their very short legs and wonderful camouflage,they would be almost invisible to the naked eye - did you try IR photographs ? Or better still you should have found a Ghillie with local knowledge to arrange a hide for you to set up the camera and ,preferably, very long lens

We after the Righthand Highland Blakcantans, they have the short legs on the right and long legs on the left.
Didn't see any, our guide reckons it was too wet and they were in the caves hiding.
Still, we got some dressed domesticated ones when we came home, very tasty.

Mmmmmm !!
I have to say that the Lefthands are slightly less fatty and as long as you remember to fillet them they are really tasty and handy if the BBQ is on a slope as you can place them long leg down...............
Domesticated are fine if you have a good supplier and remember that they can repeat on you can repeat on you can repeat on..................

Not to mention the Queen's Own Highland Deserters with their famous motto "Stuff this for a game of soldiers, I'm offski".We after the Righthand Highland Blakcantans...
The best Hagi(?) actually have even length legs. These are the fittest of the herd which manage to get to the top of the hill.
It is similar with pasties where I come from.

pasties... nom nom.
There used to be a great pasty place in leeds, down by the main railway station. Is it still there?

The best black puddings come from Stornaway. A butcher friend who make his own - and they are good too, admits that Stornaway Black puddings cannot be beaten. The loss of quality is down to the EU - but Stornaway has found a way around the rule!

It was out of season so I could only shoot with my camera. In season they can be tricky to find but when you do get one they are excellent. BMy butcher friend (way up north) prepares an excellent award winner!Haggis, now there's a thought!

A family of Haggis - I believe they may be lefthanders too ...

Close up - note the teeth which can be nasty if you try to catch by hand.
