lapwing

Pottered up to the RSPB @ Loch Leven early-ish and had the hides mostly to myself. Saw a young heron, shovelers, ringed plovers, loads of geese with orange bills, tufties, and black-headed gulls. Went up for a coffee and was told to look through the telescopes as there was a glossy ibis down near one of the hides but not visible from there as the height from the coffee viewpoint was needed. It makes the curlew's bill look quite small! Apparently it's pretty rare to see one of those in the UK. :-))) Sorry, no photo though.
