It has been a fantastic period for Birding Ecosse, brilliant people, brilliant scenery and some absolutely outstanding birds and birding moments!!
It will take a while to get my notes in order and do proper updates with pics, however to keep you all going a flavour of the past couple of weeks:
Closest ever fly past of not one but two Capercaillies, wasn't even expecting these birds as I was on a public road at ten o'clock in the morning! Luckily no logging wagons were hurtling past or the population would be minus two males!
Bucket loads of Golden Eagles, giving jaw dropping views through scopes and binos.
Long Tailed Ducks in transition plumage.
Black Throated Divers in full breeding plumage on a tranquil Scottish Loch.
And my local Ospreys back on their nesting territory. I love living in the Scottish Highlands!
