A little Linnet on the shores of St Ninian’s point. They are difficult to get as they are very flighty little birds, any movement and they are gone.

Moorhens, normally a common sight in the water, but this little one decided to preen in a tree right next to the bird hide. So beautiful and lovely to watch.

Enjoyed watching these Goosanders, about 18 of them, came ashore right in front of the hide. Their webbed feet positioned far back on their body, and a sharp, slender bill helps when catching fish underwater.
