On my way back up the road from Berwick to home. I decided to take the coastal route and have a look at Bass rock. This handsome chap was perched up in a tree and sat for me while i took a few photos.
Very common but beautiful all the same.

very nice pic indeed! - watched them today, about 6 in all, but you never get bored with our most common falcon.

Where do you see the red kites. I have only seen the one. I saw it at Loch Leven. Seemingly I was the second person to report a sighting there but haven't seen on esince I've love to see more.
