A Morning Stroll

I took a wander over to Loch Leven this morning to see what was about. Quite a cold wind this morning but the sun came out when I arrived so all was well with the world.!!

Along the trail my first encounter was with a lovely Song Thrush foraging along the edge of the footpath.

A few Greylags were about.

Lots of Grey Heron around, this particular one was hunting Frogs.

Another one coming in to land.

I posted this next shot on the 'Odds & Sods' thread but I'll add it here anyway. I don't see Jay's very often so I was very lucky to get a glimpse of this lovely bird deep in the trees.

I managed one shot before it disappeared again. :-)

A lovely Male Goosander insisted on having his photograph taken before diving under and resurfacing twenty or so yards further off.

A few Black-headed Gulls around ..... on the ground.....

..... and in the air.

Lots of Curlew about which was nice to see.

A few of them heading off somewhere...!!

Lots of Lapwing about too, this particular one not being content to fly the correct way up.!! :-)

A final Lapwing shot.

Lots of other stuff also around, so a nice few hours spent on a cold windy morning.
