IOW birds and nature

 

 

milvus milvus 

 

Very pleasant trip north from Dunfermline just taking in the scenery and occasionally stopping, mostly in the area of Glen Devon. The photo of the red kite devouring something (later joined by another and seen circling together) was very distant and conditions very hazy, but despite seeing probably a collective double figure count right across the UK, that remains the best pic of one for me. Most were seen from the motorway though (had 3 more on the journey home).

Also en route through the glen at a stopping point,  the sound of a ring ouzel singing was a new experience for me. Curlew chicks were seen wandering with the adult. Grey wagtail and Siskins about too.
