Spring Watch - Starling

In Tentsmuir forest this morning

A tiny, nimble, curious and quick British Wren taken yesterday at a rainy Springwatch 2018 location of Sherbourne Park in Gloucestershire. This little one was great fun to watch, entertaining me for quite some time by repeatedly disappearing and then popping up again nearby, little tail bobbing.....

Scientific name - Anemone Nemorosa

At Morton lochs yesterday afternoon when I was cycling in Fife.

A few more White-tailed Eagles photos from my Mull Holiday, taken on the Lady Jayne with Mull Charters what a fantastic experience to see these eagles so close up.
