Keeping Local!

Well as we stare into a continuing lock down, we have managed to get out a little bit, visiting Blairadam Woods, Loch Leven, Lochore Meadows, Burntisland and Loch Kinghorn all within a short drive or walk! The Harbour area at Burntisland proved the most interesting bird wise with a Great Northern Diver in the inner harbour;

Being kept company by two or three seals;

In the outer harbour a Razorbill confused us for a moment and wouldn't stay on the surface long enough to get a decent photo or just turned its back on us!

Just outside the sea wall on the Firth a Shag came and said hello!

A visit to Burleigh Beach at Loch Leven produced Grey and Pied Wagtail as well as the usual Gulls and ducks;

Blairadam was very quiet, with very few birds seen, the Burn looks like it should be good for Dipper, it's a beautiful place though!

We only stopped for a few minutes at Loch Kinghorn when driving past, the sun was in the wrong position with a terrible glare on the water, so trying to find a Ring-necked duck amongst a 100 or so Tufted Duck was impossible!

So that's our latest update, I'll post again next week sometime unless something unusual turns up!

Here's a few more bits of scenery though from my phone!
