Photo Bomber (Turdus viscivorus)

Our Sunday trip that week was into Glen Moy, one of the Angus glens, One of our favourites, as it attracts less visitors than some of the more well known ones.

Right at the top, as far as you can go by road, we park up near a river. An old fence on the other side of the road attracted a Mistle Thrush. Just as I was taking a picture, in swooped a Barn Swallow!! About the only picture I've got of one in flight!!
