Well with all the work going on in the house and visiting Birmingham we haven't done much Birding. But Monday was our wedding anniversary so we made sure we got out for the afternoon, had a walk, lunch and a really lovely time.
We parked at Findatie on Loch Leven and took a stroll to the hide and beyond. These were the highlights:
 |
| Long-tailed Tit |
 |
| First of our Red Squirrel Sightings |
 |
| Grey Heron from the hide |
 |
| Red Squirrel again! |
 |
| Coal Tit |
 |
| Our first Dipper on the River Leven |
So apart from the photographed sightings above, we had Goldcrest, Goldfinch, Chaffinch, Great Tit, Blue Tit, Jay, Starlings, Buzzards, Cormorant and Pink-footed Geese. Also a winter plumage Slavonian Grebe was seen briefly.
Then to Loch Leven Larder for a superb 'late' lunch, we stayed for a bun and a pot of tea, sitting outside at dusk, waiting for the Geese, but it got really cold and there was a biting wind, so we called it a day before the geese arrived. However:
A Kestrel displayed for us, always looking the other way of course!
Happy 41 Years!
