Following on from last week’s trip to the Ythan we headed to the reserve at the Loch of Strathbeg today. So much to see and it was very helpful to share the hides with friendly and knowledgeable people. (I really need to invest in a proper scope and big lens for my camera, I felt very inadequate!)
Hen and marsh harriers, little egret, wigeon, teal, green winged teal, pink foots, lots of whoppers for BC to admire, mute, huge numbers of lapwings, goldeneye, cormorant, coot and otters.
(Plenty of other species have been spotted there this season too.)
Photos are the usual crops from 300mm eq so go easy on me.
