Mandarin Drake, Glen Lethnot

Reported the previous day this "Introduced Breeding Species" is a rare visitor to Angus and East Scotland with only a few recorded on the BTO's Birdtrack website since 2000.

Mandarin Drake.


Glenesk, Cuckoo and Ring Ouzel

It's unlikely I'll get a good photo of a Cuckoo as they are wary and as they sit on points giving them a good all round view, so it's very difficult to get close without scaring them off.

The first photo is taken at 50 times zoom and the second using digital zoom which claims 100 times!

The Ring Ouzel at the bottom was the best I could get before the camera battery went!
