Surprise Waxwing

It's been a long day, i was out at 6.45am doing a bird survey, it was very enjoyable though, there were plenty of birds out on the machair - Lapwings, Oystercatchers, Redshank and one of my most favourite Snipe.

I was finished work by early afternoon, apart from the paperwork, so once that was done i had a wee walk with Mr. WildPlace to the beach. He had found some interesting fungi growing out of some cow dung earlier in the day. Got some quite nice photos and was going to blip them but this evening returning from our after-dinner walk (lots of walking today!) we spotted a Waxwing in next-door's tree, very unexpected!

It wasn't the best of light but i was pleased to see it nevertheless :-)
