What a super video, thank you Mary. I've never thought of using my camera to do a video.
A spectacular video Mary - so enjoyed it. Thank you
Thanks everyone for your nice comments.
Here are a couple of Darren's photos he took of the Marsh Harrier's at the same time, and considering the distance they are away they are excellent.

I forgot to say when I was at Loch of Kinnordy there was also a Red Kite flying around the loch too, its the first time in 5 years that I have ever seen a Red Kite there.
Darren just sent me this photo of it, that he took this morning.
Wow, that's stunning! Thanks Mary/Darren for sharing.
Great pic, thanks Mary & Darren!
