Scotland part one

 Just got back from a weeks holiday in bonny Scotland so over the next few days (weeks) I will be posting some images from there. These first few were taken on the way there at Loch Leven. Quite a few Swallows were flying around the visitor centre and I saw my first Tree Sparrows in a long time.

Barn Owl

  I have finally caught up on the processing of the images I have taken recently (apart of the ones taken at work over the last few weeks) so here are a few more images of a local Barn Owl.

This Gull was harassing the Barn Owl.

It was even harassed by a Magpie.
