Thank you Darren and Mary. Great captures.
Birdies LG DU update.
Darren sent me these two fab photos.
One juvenile practising his fishing skills. Love the concentration on his/her face.
and a lovely photo of Mrs. Green BF
Darren also sent some photos of an intruder at Balgavies yesterday. Details have been sent to Roy, so I hope he gets back to us.
Ring Number is CR9. Once again the quality of the photographs from Darren and the others is letting us identify these ringed birds.
I hope that we hear back from Roy in due course. I have found nothing on any of the usual docs of this bird, but there was a CR6 who is a persistent intruder at Foulshaw Moss.
Latest Report from Darren and 20 more stunning photos from yesterday have been added, including one of a juvenile in full dive mode.

Great photos. Thanks for the link, Mary.
Kind regards, Ann
Good to see the Dundee SWT team involved. Braw eh.
