A Day To Remember

Yesterday we kicked off our day at our local Haugh 

Blue skies baby!?!? Lol

Whooper was still there

Doing a bit of yoga

Godwits were still there in the mud

Then right infront of me up pops a couple of Stonechat....A 1st of the day woohoo

The wind was pretty gusty so the poor wee things were hanging on for dear life at times

But in the lull of the wind they perched beautifully 

Even the Robin thought it would have a go at being a Stonechat 

I would have been happy to sit there all day and take their photos but we decided to pop home for some lunch then a wee afternoon down to Moffat

The lake was pretty quiet....saw a kingie zoom past and Teal fly in and the usual Cormorants 

These two look like they are having a cuddle

Little Grebes were also popping up

Then we went a wee walk 

We disturbed a Mistle Thrush passing this tree

Then in the field infront the Deer were leaping

As we sat in a hide looking onto the hills a bird of prey flew up from the ground but crows were soon on its tail

I was on the wrong settings as I went outside and it was above me!!!

Only found out last night as I couldn't quite work out what it was as all happened so fast and a was in a muddle trying to fix the blooming camera and that's were Cin and Pete came to my rescue after posting the pics last night to tell me it was a Hen Harrier WOW...am still on a high ;-)

If that wasn't enough for one day the a Great Egret landed in the field

3 1sts in one day...it really shall be a day I Will remember. 

If only I found the pot of gold aswell

Hope you all enjoyed my day 

Thanks for looking
