Owl carving

Went out with the Glasgow local group. We went to Muirshiel Country Park. The weather was not kind, the wind picked up and the rain started. However there were some highlights. I have often heard cuckoos but today was the first time I actually saw one. First of all heard them, then saw them flying and finally saw two clearly, through the binoculars, sitting on a branch of a tree.

We also saw a dipper feeding and then grooming on some rocks and saw an osprey fly overhead.
