Moray Meander (I)

A full day on a gloriously sunny Moray Firth - a bit better weather than last time we were there! ..But first a check on the Loch Garten bird feeder - no Crested Tits - they do appear most days; it's just a matter of luck apparently as to when they turn up. After a quick check, up to the Moray Firth and four stops in our meander: Loch Spynie, Lossiemouth, Burghead and Roseisle.

The highlight of Loch Spynie were the Red Squirrels - they are fed daily, very tame and beautiful in the sunshine. On the loch itself there wasn't a lot out of the ordinary: Teal, Wigeon, Tufted Duck, Coot, Goldeneye,  Gooseander etc...

Loch Spynie.

The light was beautiful and there were four Red Squirrels hurtling round, chasing each other and finally feeding on the feeders.




Great Spotted Woodpecker.

After loch Spynie a few miles north found us at Lossiemouth - again beautiful light. Lots of gull, Teal and Wigeon ....
