Loch Leven - Burleigh Sands

 We hadn't been to Loch Leven for about a month, Fife is just so good with places to go that we can't get around to them all! Especially with going up to Caithness for a week as well.

Actually it was very quiet around the Loch so there's not that much to report, hundreds of Mute Swans of course along with new additions:


We did see our first Swifts of the year which was very nice:


With the nice weather it was good to see Butterflies about:

Small White:

and Small Tortoiseshell
We also saw some Orange Tip, but Didn't get a photo.

Apart from that a male Reed Bunting showed very well on the Broom;




We had a very brief glimpse of a Great Spotted Woodpecker, some House Martin, Chaffinch, Great Tits and Blue Tits, Lots of Mallard, Black-headed Gulls, Lesser Black-backed Gulls and a couple of Gadwall. But that was pretty much it apart from a gaggle of Greylag Geese as we arrived back at the car park.


Still the Swift brought us up to 121 for the year!
