We had a lovely day at our favourite place in the country at the weekend (although it is getting a bit busy!)
Here are a few birds we saw on the day.

Willow Warbler |
We really struggled with this one! Our instinct was that it was a Willow Warbler - but it is a very pale version. If it had sung it would have been confirmed - but it stayed quite. But, once we checked the photos on the computer we confirmed it as a Willow Warbler. In general they are still singing, but not in so many numbers now. In my experience these will soon go quite; around the end of June.

Common Sandpiper |
Every summer the Common Sandpiper visits Lochindorb. It's presence is signaled by a very familiar, high pitched call. Always check the shoreline for one, or at most two (paired) birds. Their flight is low over the water with very quick wing beats.
