It was a bit of a surprise to glance out of the window and see this chap sitting there. I guess he was hoping for his evening meal to pop by. He stayed long enough for me to get a few photos!
I've been in touch with Bob - http://www.skye-birds.com/ - who tells me 'my' bird is probably a young female. Apparently they breed in local forestry plantations, and the youngsters are dispersing at this time of year.
Nick - I realised it was you about half a mile after I passed you - so I waved back a bit late!
WOW!
ReplyDeleteThe monbetia looks good too!
