After 3 hours in a very cold bird hide was just packing up when this hen harrier arrived… couldn’t believe it… so exciting!

Minke whale off Bute
Thrilled to see this minke whale in the West kyle of Bute….. far off but exciting just the same.

Buzzard in the evening sun
Like the way the last rays of the sun lights up the buzzard.

Sparrowhawk sheltering from the rain
Just sitting in the car watching the rain when this sparrowhawk appeared from the inside of the tree across the road from me! Couldn’t believe my luck. Obviously sheltering waiting on the rain going off too.

Spotted Flycatchers
Only aware of one other sighting of Spotted Flycatchers on Bute this year and very few sightings over previous years so really thrilled to be invited to friends garden to photograph them when they nested there.
