Think it was actually 10° yesterday...glorious sunshine and as we finished work early a wee walk around the Haugh was in order...
A bug house or 2 had been built
Corvids were doing some chasing ...(chasing a Kestrel at one point ...right into the sun obviously!!)
Impossible to photograph then so that's all got lol
Now all has defrosted it looks so bare like someone has taken a strimmer to everything
Nowhere for kingie to perch now
One warming its bum in the sun
Saw a grey waggie on the river
The Lapwings were up ..always a pleasure to watch them and even get a decent pic or 2 this time ;-)
Across the river were a tree of winter visiting thrushes
Then it was one GIANT leap for me or a very long walk back lol
Thankfully the cows weren't in the field like the last time so no running for my life just a slow march up the hill
And last one of the day was a Deer in the the woods
Well that was our winters afternoon in the sun at the Haugh...
hope you all enjoyed...thanks for looking;-)
(Pardon the Scottish Accent)
Lot to learn
What a change a thaw can make, not just to the view, but wildlife activity as well....
A good set of photos Linda, and the new camera is definitely doing you proud.

Apparently it's called a deceit. Don't know why, but that's what tinternet says ... . There's certainly a lot of them there! Be careful of that big hole Linda ...
