Early morning…

light on the loch, not a ripple, warm, silent ,then water trickles in from the burn, geese arrowhead in calling , two Goldeneye break the reflection and I’m suddenly aware that the Sea Eagle is sitting in the bare Larch in this woodland! He sat there the whole time I was walking along the beach before lifting off and with two flaps was at the far end of the loch. Met a birdie friend as I was leaving and he had seen it from the other end and it had tried to collect a goose for breakfast. It is just a youngster and missed!
Later, passing the Lek site saw two Black Grouse.
