Scotland part five

The final part of our Scottish holiday and it was back to Loch of the Lowes to watch the Ospreys in action and this is also where we celebrated our wedding anniversary (we did go out for a meal later). There was quite a bit of action with another Osprey coming too close to the nest and a Buzzard doing the same. 

Osprey busy sitting.

Then another Osprey comes too close (you can see it bottom right of the image)

They both left the nest to see it off.

A little later a Buzzard came a bit close too the nest. Here it is attacking the Osprey.

The other took off

And landed on the camera pole

And stayed there for a while having a good shake.

Scotland part two

Depending on where we are while on holiday in Scotland we try and visit Loch of the Lowes at least once. The majority of the images in this and the next Blog are from there. This part is mainly the Sand Martins and Swallows that were picking flies off the water. We also visit a small Loch to see if there are any divers unfortunately this year, we did not see any.
