Loch Leven, a brief visit

In the distance in front of the Carden Hide was a Little Ringed Plover and chicks but too far away in the dull conditions for a photo. A bit nearer were Gadwall, Shelduck, Black-headed Gulls, Wigeon and Shoveler.

I'm beginning to feel that a crow is following me about

A Lapwing in a field behind the hide, many more were nesting on the marshes

Male and female Shoveler, now that's a beak!
