Whooper! |
We parked up at Loch of Kinnordy, went to the first hide and I instantly spotted my second ever Scaup. I have no idea how I knew it was a Scaup as it was further away than my first one and I had a little trouble with that but never mind! There were a lot of Goldeneye around, which are one of Stuart's favourite ducks although their dislocating neck action freaks me out a bit. We saw our third Brambling for the year, which in our terms is pretty amazing as we very very rarely see Brambling.

Upon returning to the house, we mentioned we loved Dipper but had only ever seen 3. Stuart's aunt then told us very exciting news - there were Dipper in the river in the village! We went on the way to the pub, thinking it couldn't possibly be that easy, but within minutes there were two Dipper and we happily watched them for about 15 minutes until the rain started pouring down and it was time for beer.
