 Because the weather wasn’t great, we decided to pay a visit to Scone Castle. I was putting the camera into the car when a Song Thrush landed on a fence right next to the car so I fired off a few shots before it flew off. At Scone a couple of pairs of Oystercatchers were in the garden one pair with at least one chick.
