Scotland trip report

For further info on the photos I posted earlier from Scotland, a trip report is now available on my website.

Unringed Osprey

Colin revisited 1 June 2019

Having made two trips last year, a visit to see Colin this year was well overdue. So with a good forecast, today seemed a good opportunity.

Arriving on-site at about 10 am I was told I had just missed him, as he had visited at around 09:30. It was then a fair wait until about 12:00 when he reappeared for about 30 mins. His next visitation wasn't until around 15:30 which didn't last as long, but was photographically more productive. After that it was time to depart.

Being a fine Saturday, there were up to about a dozen other photographers present throughout, but there seemed plenty of room for everyone.

Although the Redstart was singing almost non-stop during the morning, it never came in. In fact the only only bird of interest was this delightful Stonechat that arrived mid afternoon.
