Would anyone be at all surprised to hear that i've been watching Yellowhammers these last three days? Ah, but thats not all I've been watching! Today, early in the morning at Barras, a Quail sang on and off, scoring me an equaliser to Daves Quail in the " who can find the best bird on the field sites" competition ( and yes, i do realise i wasn't atually watching it, but I observed it using my ears, and it still counts!)
Then this evening, Claire kindly rushed me and Dave out to the Loch of Skene, to see the Whiskered tern that had been reported there. We got on it pretty quickly, a lovely, very dark bellied bird, and thouroughly enjoyed watching it gracefully dipping over the surface of the water. Add to that a little sunshine, and an Osprey in the background, and then a curry, and I'm sure you'll understand why I'm feeling so good right know!
