    Birding at Loch of Kinnordy

    I used to enjoy visiting Kinnordy but It has gone downhill and I have not been back,since early this year.I doubt the RSPB would neglect a Reserve like this,If It was south of the border.So much potential but no thought plan

    Kinnordy Loch Is a great Reserve,or at least It was when I was an Infrequent visitor 10 or so years ago.It often crossed my mind,that the RSPB did not do a great job of managing It.Perhaps because It Is not as busy and never brought any revenue Into the organisation,It was often overlooked.Just...

    Hi Mark. Yes Indeed,the bird you were watching was a Great white Egret.I have seen them often In Majorca but never In Scotland.......yet. ;)

    I have to agree Nicola. From when I first started visiting Kinnordy,compared to now,the difference is night and day.Perhaps because the RSPB don't make any money from visitors,compared to the larger Reserves at Loch Garten and In England.

    Well done Gus. I would never tire of seeing Hobbys.I spent more or less 4 months watching a pair 10 years ago.

    Just lucky,I suppose.There were two ladies In the Hide at the time I pointed It out.One of them was delighted,as It was a "lifer" for her.

    Is there something wrong with the Angus Bird Grapevine site ? I seem to be having problems getting onto It.

    Had a quick visit this afternoon. No sign of the Marsh Harrier/LRP or Wood Sandpiper but the Osprey was fishing over the Loch and 4 male Shelduck,came as a bit of a surprise.A Peregrine was flying along the hill at the back of the Loch and signs of new life were around,with 3 different broods...

    I was at Kinnordy yesterday and just got the Impression,the place Is not being looked after,as well as In the past.Then again,I am not local to the area,so perhaps I am wrong. The water levels are low,the feeders are empty and the Warden posts In the Hide,that he Is only there,one day a week...

    Selective Update A selective update on the Kinnordy RSPB page.Mention of some of the birds seen and also a mention and photo of the Otter but no mention of the Otter wiping out the Black headed Gull colony. :C

    That Is disappointing Darell. :C To many,Otters and Pine Maten are "ahh,ooooh" cute little creatures but personally,they are just oversized Rats but they have their right to live,as we all do.

    I hope the Police get the Junkie and bang him up.I have several Junkie's where I live and although I have had my run In's with them,nothing as bad as that.
