Birds at RSPB - Lochwinnoch


Went up to the RSPB centre near Lochwinnoch for a few hours this morning.

Let me play a bit with my recent lens purchase.

Also nice to meet up with a few of the regulars in the hide.

RSPB Lochwinnoch


A run up to the RSPB Nature Reserve at Lochwinnoch this morning.

Spent about an hour in the hide and rewarded with a few images.

I'm not a 'spotter' so may well have some of the names wrong - apologies in advance for any errors.

A walk round before heading home didn't offer much but pleased to get the Scarlet Elf Cup Funghi.

Lochwinnoch Nature Reserve


An early run up to the RSPB centre at the Lochwinnoch Nature reserve this morning.

Despite a bright sun, limited to the light outside the photo hide, and not much better on the path.

As always, a warm welcome by staff and visitors alike.

A few of my efforts are here, but would like to have had better images.

RSPB - Lochwinnoch Nature Reserve


 A first time visit to the nature reserve at Lochwinnoch.

Something tells me it'll not be my last.

The whooping swan was great to see, but the sad story is that it stays here rather than migrate due to a broken wing three years ago.
