Was out for the whole day on Wednesday as it was a lovely day...
Started off at Barons Haugh as we had seen lots there the previous evening but the light wasn't too good.
Buzzard right above me but time a got the camera out...lol
Into the hide and the place was pretty bare
Well apart from PBs mate making a show of himself lol
Checking his own reflection no doubt lol
Another flew overhead
Had a wee walk round to see if Kingie was in his usual spot but no just some WWs on a tree in the island
So we decided to go a wander down the river to the viaduct to look for Kingie and yes we say him and her fly past us several times...laughing no doubt lol
Went back up the other side of the river and this one was waiting for me ;-)
So that was all from the Haugh...jumped in the car and headed back to the SSSI that I saw the GCG in hope of better pics and here they are
Not much else was to be seen so it was off in search of another loch...Bishops Loch to be precise
Grebes were there aswell lol
Wee Grebes aswell
Not sure what this coot was up to
Last stop was a village loch
Small loch but still had plenty wildlife
Grebes seem to be following us
Mr tufty
Some ugly wains
Time to exercise them wings
And thats all from our great day out albeit rather local...one day we shall venture further afield....hope you all enjoyed;-)
(Pardon the Scottish Accent)

A good selection of photos.

It's was the only lucky shot Mike..there is something very calming about watching such a colourful wee bird flying up and down the river...also very frustrating at same time if your trying to get a pic lol

My pleasure Gaynor....Wee Grebe is a stunner...well when you get close enough for a decent pic lol
Nice to see you back... ;-)
