Keptie Pond (while Olive was in Morrisons)

It's amazing what you can cram into a short period even in a town when time limited. Alternatively, shopping for groceries maybe takes too long, I always think so and often come home without what I went for!

On another dull and rainy afternoon I saw these at Keptie Pond when looking for anything unusual that might have been blown in recently. Also around, Mute Swans, Grey Herons, Blue Tits, Dunnock, Jackdaws, but I didn't see my favourite Collared Doves.

Female Goosander

Male Goosander

Believed to be the offspring of a Tufted Drake and a Mallard Duck, and there's at least two of them

One of three Wigeon drakes

I do see see Buzzards from time to time at Keptie but can't recall one that was prepared to settle, this one is on the Water Tower

Black-headed Gull
