Lochore Meadows

 So after the Outer Hebrides we went for a walk down to the Meadies on a bright Monday afternoon.

It was great to hear all the birds singing, but most stayed pretty elusive. But here are a few that did show themselves:

Mind you while sitting on one of our favourite benches for a coffee stop of course, Tina spotted two birds dropping into the top of a tree about 50 metres away. Crossbills!!

We have been all over Scotland and only found them once before! But delighted to get a pair on our local patch!
