LOL Rhummy I bet it is.:-O I sometimes hear them in the town and actually got a couple of them in the garden round here. But I've no idea who keeps them.

My first of the year was in the grounds of the new Forth Valley hospital in Larbert on 10th of this month, been walking around the area for 40 years and it's the first I've seen there.
Walking back from the dentist just now - 3 Commic Terns flew overhead.
A bit of a surpise that LOL.
Lintrathen was a bit of a washout on Saturday evening. A single Mute Swan, a couple of Tufties, a few Mallards hiding in the overhanging trees though there was a flyover male. Highlights were a Long-tailed Tit in the trees beside the hide and an Osprey hunting at the far end.
Where did all the yellow tape come from?

Well, I don't go often Rhummy, and go in to the hides even less often! Usually I stop in the laybyes along the roadside and view the loch from there. The feeders at the centre are well worth viewing though, with all sorts turning up, Siskin, all the tits and Red Squirrels etc.
It's worth keeping an eye on the LoL Blog, to check out what's turning up.

Quite LOL
I do take visitors there, as they're guaranteed a good view of the Osprey, but I still prefer to go to Kinnordy in the hope of seeing them, which usually works out pretty well.
The footpaths around LoL and the golf course area can be quite productive.

Agreed - I almost always manage to get Spotted Flycatcher there, as well as all the usual suspects. It's a nice walk, too.

Good views of both Golden Eagle and Ring Ouzel in Glen Clova this afternoon in lovely weather. Also RL Partirdge, Raven, Merlin (mobbing the eagle), wheatear and common stuff. Followed by Osprey and Marsh Harrier at Kinnordy.
Back for the hols, are you Jonathan! You had a super day with that lot didn't you.

Just had a male Marsh Harrier drift low south over my parents house in Ceres.... first one I've seen in Fife away from the Tay reeds. Nice.

Followed that up with nice views of the drake Garganey at Rossie Bog this afternoon.
