    Tayforth Birding

    Thanks Gander, that be them, wonder what you think of work done along burn side which has been opened up recently all along the back, this has opened up to let frost in, before this water was kept open by the scrub trees along the edge and wildfowl went in there when main loch was frozen over...

    Morton Loch, Tayport

    Road open and Kingfishers showing well also Water rail but looks to be standing room only at the Railway Hide, water very low not sure if they are going to do any dredging on that area of water, certainly needs it although Kingfishers still seem to be able to get a meal.

    Morton Loch, Tayport

    Just to say anyone thinking of going to Morton Loch, the road is closed from 5th until 9th Sept, access to houses only, think I read the sign right.

    Comment by 'Guest' in media 'Martime Pine'
