Awsome

Also saw a 4 Golden Eagles, 2 ospreys and two owls (one was a barn owl buzzing a smaller bird of prey Kestrel? eating a catch on a fence post) very early one morning.

It made going solo and early in to the wilds all the more rewarding
IanD your trip to Scotland sounds very rewarding.

Sat watching a wildife programme early this morning whilst having breakfast Simon King had a great clip of a family of otters playing in a lock. Dotterels are pretty rare to see one of the Plover family.
