... It's been an excellent year for them at Kinnordy this winter. When I was there in the Autumn, I couldn't really get a picture as the bog been was still too high, I could see them through the scope though. I think we were reckoning on about a hundred at that time. Amazing.

It's great you got a picture of this group - very well done mate.
