Our first holliday.
A selection of old 35mm slides that I have scanned onto the computer,they include Forth Bridges, Pitlochry Hydro/fishpass,Glengoulandie deer park (where we stayed)Gen Wades Bridge,The falls of Dochart, Commando monument at Spean Bridge and other views.
New Feeder
Bought some Nijer seed the other day to see if I could attract more finches into the garden but I had to make a new feeder to take it as it is very tiny seed.It seems to be working as I am now getting a few Goldfinches having a go as you can see.
New Find
My mate Bob has been out and about again managing to locate a nature reserve at Clara Vale, chilly as it was he stuck it out and managed to come up with some good results as you can see ( note the Blackbird with the white patch and ring on its leg).
Lots of activity on my garden feeders today,nice to see a few Tree sparrows calling in. I think I am keeping a whole flock of Starlings going with my homemade lardy-seed bread. A walk down the dene to top up the two feeding stations with seed and crumb was productive with a gang of long-tailed tits flitting about in front, then we had a buzzard overhead quite a while since I’ve seen one around here. Carol and I spent quite some time watching the Nuthatches coming down to the feeders then flying off to nearby trees and depositing the seeds in behind the bark or in cracks (hope they have a better memory than me ).
