Thought I'd put up a picture of the Whoopers today since they've been around all weekend and today we had a grand total of 22, including 2 cygnets which were beautiful. In an ideal world though I would have a picture of the Smew sighted over the last few days - the male was seen on Friday and Saturday on Heron Lochan and today we saw a red-headed Smew (either the female or a juvenile) in the same spot, quite a rarity. 2 Pink footed geese turned up with the Greylags at the weekend also, although their pink feet were somewhat hidden in all the mud!
Pretty poor weather today made bird watching a little challenging so after a few hours in the hides we opted for some hard graft in the car park instead, hopefully you should now notice a lovely even and level parking surface at Kinnordy.
