Morning folks ^_^ Bit soggy here today so think i'll go for a walk along the shore instead of a ride. Tourists are thinning out now [hoooray] so should be quiet...In the winter i can do this walk and not meet another person. Lots of coming and going with the bird life and never know what might turn up with off course migrants or is it global warming? Have seen a Crane on the Black Isle and a Hoopoe at Loch Fleet. ^_^ Sanderlings on big pic

Wow. I've never seen a Hoopoe. One legged Sanderlings! :laugh: My dad was a keen birdwatcher and could name most species by sight or sound in his younger days. Much frowned upon now and illegal, but we had a great egg collection from the biggest to the smallest in the UK. Think the Swan was the biggest and the Goldcrest the smallest if I remember correctly.

The hoopoe did surprise me! I was at Loch Fleet watching the usual waders/wild fowl and happened to glance at patch of grass which has an information sign about the loch..Under the sign nonchalantly going about its business was a Hoopoe! It didnt stay long and flew off like a giant moth! ^_^

I live on the foothills of the Cambrian mountains. It is rather interesting to say the least. :laugh::laugh:

Think I have said it before but for years we holidayed near Porthmadog. We loved the area but lost count of how many rainy weeks we had.
Eventually we gave up going there.
