Another Loch Lomond Visit and Forthcoming Guided Walk

A relatively quiet week with a nice trip to Inchcailloch on Friday (8th) - thanks to Mike and Judith.

 

The views were stunning and we saw a nice range of summer migrants, with Redstart being new for the year. I managed this photo of a Pied Flycatcher .....

 

 

... and a record shot of an Osprey ...

 

This week I am looking forward to leading a guided walk on Wednesday 13 May 2015 for the RSPB Glasgow Group around Dams to Darnley LNR in Glasgow - more details can be found at http://www.rspb.org.uk/groups/glasgow/events/
