Nice to have a shot on Springwatch tonight!

At morton lochs this afternoon

Hello everyone...Ive been that busy...and taking photos of others had taken priority. I took this today, because;-

1) I love the thought of Spring approaching and

2) Someone (missing my uploads) asked me to show my face!!

Random moments, but favourite ones..

This shot whilst not as good as those I would take later further down the lane, has a lovely soft feel created by the first rays of a new day.

On reviewing my pics from last week, I realised I had actually filmed both the upper barn owls.

These two shots were from my first encounter of the day. He flew off down the lane, having watched me for a few minutes, as I crouched down by a farm gate.

When I came across his partner a few minutes later, I incorrectly assumed they were the same bird.

This is the nest that has been lovingly built in the Laundry Outhouse at our farm... A very busy place but mum has raised four beautiful chicks in there despite the comings and goings!
