Kinnordy Loch

On a blustery day with sunshine and showers we saw, Mallard, Shoveller, Teal, Widgeon, Coot and Swans well out on the loch. At the feeders there were, Blue Tits, Coal Tits, Great Tits, Robin, Chaffinch and Long-tailed Tits. Some of the male ducks seemed to still be in eclipse producing some unusual colours and initial questions about their identity when seen on the camera screen.

Kinnordy on Friday 28th

For balance I posted beauty and the beast. Olive liked the Long-tailed Tits and I found this Common Toad on the path.
I know feeder photos aren't as good as natural ones but these birds don't stay around long enough to get many photos.
The lack of light on the feeders seems to have caused a bluish tinge to the photos but I've decided not to tamper with them.
There were about 8 birds and they only stayed about 3 minutes, worth seeing though.
