Oh a will never remember a name like that SM
Would need to be chestnut cos he's seen next to chestnut walk and my lazy brain will just about cope with that

Great set Linda. Otter apart there are some less common avian targets. I assume the wader was a Sandpiper but not certain of the BOP. One of the harriers I'm guessing.

Lovely set of pics Linda.

That's a beauty Linda ;)

Thanks JS. It's a green sandpiper, we have currently 3 at Haugh, one obviously playing gooseberry!! It's only Mr sprawk, I wish it was a harrier

Cheers PB, he will get peace from me today as too many errands to run

It's been otterly brilliant at the Haugh. Yesterday they Otters were on show for at least 15 mins despite all the noise and laughter of me falling on my ass, I blame the wellies, canny quite crouch doon in wellies one even came out the water for a wee scratch


Wasn't much else to see on the clyde other than usual goldeneye , goosander, little grebe and loads of moorhen !!!yawn yawn

But can never have enough Otters and a deer and a bird or 2 then!!!
