A trip to the far east
Today's main event was a visit to the RSPB reserve at Loch of Strathbeg. The drive over was uneventful, but the sight of the sun rising as a crimson ball out of the North Sea was amazing. Spent around five hours at Strathbeg (5:30 - 10:30) and managed to cover most of the public areas of the reserve. Some of the most memorable sights were weedy field full of passerines including Sedge Warblers and Yellowhammers, a fair smattering of early-returning waders (Ruff, Black-tailed Godwit, Greenshank and Dunlin), numerous examples of breeding (including broods of Great crested Grebe, Gadwall, Shelduck, Mute Swan and Tufted Duck, and nests containing nestlings of Cormorant and Common Tern), large numbers of Tree Sparrows round the centre and very friendly and helpful staff.
On the way back west, a Kestrel hovered over Lonmay.
