As expected, the colder weather and shorter nights have brought this winter's first sea eagle to Loch Leven. One was spotted yesterday, Thursday 28 November, from the cafe at RSPB Loch Leven. It landed on St Serf's Island. Like the one in the picture, yesterday's bird was wearing a wing tag. We were unable to read it but it looked turquoise. It hasn't been seen again today - at least not so far - but usually, when one turns up, it 'hangs around' for a while. We will keep you posted.
Otherwise, we are currently enjoying lovely crisp days with good visibility around the loch. Good numbers of whooper swans can be seen on the loch from the top of the woodland trail but also from the warm shelter of our cafe.
