Udale Bay - 21st April 2025

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.
