Oakley is a beautiful cross Collie dog that belongs to a neighbour.
The exact origin of the name “collie” is uncertain, although it may derive from the Scots word for “coal” – many collie types are black or black-and-white. Alternatively it may come from the related word colley, referring to the black-faced mountain sheep of Scotland. The collie name refers especially to dogs of Scottish origin, but the collie type is far more widespread in Britain and in many other parts of the world, often being called sheepdog or shepherd dog.

Dreaming Of My Wee Lassie!
Devoted! – Rottweiler
My fascination with birds began as a child and almost 50 years down the track my love for our feathered friends has not diminished. Once we moved to Tranquillity (our little country retreat) my passion for birds, all nature and wildlife became a digital reality through the lens of my camera.
