The woodie didn't seem to be too pleased to have a camera pointing at him. Rather funnily, I'd no idea the Coal Tit was there until I downloaded it!! Saturday Fun- delia todd

Photo Bomber
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...- delia todd

A pair of Eurasian Oystercatchers on the Patch causeway. I'm sure the one on the right is telling him to wash behind his ears!! Saturday Fun- delia todd

Drunken perch
After our visit to my Patch over lunchtime, we moved on to explore what we call the Windfarm Road. First of all we came across a Barn Swallow sitting on what looks like a very precarious post!! Light was really weird up there that day. Saturday Fun- delia todd

A Great Spotted Woodpecker flopped onto the back side of a tree and started to move round... when suddenly he took off. I just couldn't delete that picture, it just looked so artistic. Saturday fun- delia todd

A face in the dark
I must admit I was puzzled and wondered what the Carrion Crow was looking at. I could see a funny shape in the trees myself, so took a picture, hoping it would become clearer when I downloaded it. It still looks like a ginormous cow. Obviously this must be the Loch of the Lowes Monster...- delia todd

Eurasian Siskins seem to love the feeders at Loch of the Lowes. This guy seems quite sure there must be something, but struggling to find the treasure!! Saturday Fun- delia todd

Don't get too close!
I can't believe I've not shown you a Mallard from our Mause feeders before. There's nearly always some around as on the opposite side of the old road is a small pond area that gets filled up from overflow off the hill; presumably to stop it swamping the field beside it or running down the old...- delia todd

Surfing
Early June and we were at Loch of the Lowes, I was testing out a possible new pair of bins. Got them too, a pair of Viking Peregrine 10x42 after getting advice in the Binoculars Forum (thanks guys). A Common Goldeneye came into view; I do think they're attractive ducks these) and did what I...- delia todd

Lighting the way
Otherwise known as "I missed"! On a June visit to Loch of the Lowes, I spotted a Red Squirrel in a tree, nicely posing there too. But as soon as I went to click, his whole body disappeared, leaving only his tail which was catching the rays of the sun through the leaves! Not to worry, though...- delia todd

When...
.... you can't find the subject through the viewfinder. I had to look for a landmark in the field (which was a bit distant). Aim for it, and hope the subject was in view and reasonably focused The landmark I chose was the thistle - I'd not seen the youngster on the other side of it until I...- delia todd

Poor wee Coal Tit - looks like he's being dripped on LOL This was taken at our Mause feeders.

Dare I try and get some?
"I just love peanut butter". I spotted a Robin creeping round the tree trunk, looking rather furtive LOL. I do smear some pnb on the tree trunk, so many of the birds seem to love it and it goes very quickly. Maybe I'll get a Pine Marten or badger there one day LOL. Saturday Fun- delia todd

You have to take your chances sometimes!
Gosh, seems this is the first Eurasian Wren image I've managed to add to my Gallery taken at Mause. I've heard them a lot, seen them occasionally, but they rarely come into view long enough for a picture. I'm always on the lookout for one though. I noticed a bit of movement in some scrub...- delia todd

The Vandals have arrived!
The Starlings emptied their nests during the week, first I saw of young ones was on Monday! They all descend on my garden, where the adults bring them as it's obviously easy to feed them here after I've put some feed out in the morning. Now it seems that they are all feeding independently...- delia todd

Missed
While we were watching the pretty Wheatears on the dry stone dyke behind the car, suddenly a Eurasian Sparrowhawk swooped over the bonnet and headed for the dyke.

Turbine and Kestrel
This Kestrel seems to be either getting cooled off or is trying to create a breeze to make the turbine blades move LOL Sorry it's a bit oof, but that turbine is about a mile away, don't really know how far the Kes is.

Dust bathing Round 4
No, you didn't miss rounds 2 and 3, I've omitted them!! The Skylark kept up his dust bathing for ages, gradually getting closer to us. It really was so entertaining to watch. This picture is towards the end of his last go at it. Saturday Fun- delia todd

Bliss
We had a wonderful session on my Up the Hill patch a couple of weeks ago. Not just one but two pairs of Wheatears were just arrived and this Eurasian Skylark spent ages enjoying a dust bath! I really liked this pose I captured. Saturday Fun Sorry to be so late with this, as I was half way...- delia todd

I don't often get pictures of Great Crested Grebe, at least not good ones, but this guy was a little closer than normal. He'd caught a huuuge fish and seemed to be having trouble swallowing it, but it disappeared eventually. Anyone able to ID it? Saturday Fun- delia todd

Better not go fishing
A couple of weekends ago we decided to go up to Glenshee to see if, for once, I could get a glimpse of Ptarmigan in their winter dress. But, as usual, as we climbed to the top the cloud was right down to the road. Cup of coffee later, we changed tack and decided to take the long road home by a...- delia todd
