After a decent day at work where I saw two male
Hen Harriers, a reeling
Grasshopper Warbler and a dozen
Black Grouse, after work while Em was busy I visited Udale Bay RSPB where no fewer than eight
White Wagtails were present, many
Pink-footed Geese (with a
Barnacle and
White-fronted also mixed in) were lingering in the bay and an
Osprey came down with a fish in its talons and proceeded to eat its dinner. Off in the distance was still a respectable number of
Scaup, but I didn't drive closer to count.
Yesterday afternoon while sitting in the garden, two Ospreys were out over the River Beauly and in the morning up Strathconon a Tree Pipit and yet another Osprey were seen.
