Christmas in Scotland

Just returned from Scotland after spending the Christmas period with family: and of course ventured out with the birding brother. Suffice to say an enjoyable time was had by all; and with exceptionally decent weather throughout: even mild at times..
Avian highlights included golden eagle, surf scoter, smew, sibe chiff, waxwings, twite, to name but a few. Not to mention the stunning scenery.
