Was out for a walk today in Solas North Uist not really birding when Mum noticed a white bird in a fence we raised our binoculars it was a Snowy Owl a first tick for me it was incredible we saw it again on the way back to which there were twitchers watching it its defiantly a rare sight.

Well Done Euan and even better,Well Done Mum..!

That's a fantastic bird to find for yourself and I guess you are "well chuffed" with yourself.I shall look forward to your Trip Report,when you get home.

That's If you come home,after seeing such super birds over there.

A picture that captures a moment as special as finding your first Snowy Owl will always be a gem!
