Crossbill.

Just before the guests turned up for the tour I had a male Common Crossbill singing at the top of a conifer.

First stop for the day was for Golden Eagle - tough to see on the nest but it did the right thing and flew over the top of us!

An Otter asleep on the shore was next up and then views of the WT Eagle with it's chick on show too. Not a  bad start to the day. A female Hen Harrier was seen by a few and a couple of Stonechat and a few Red Deer were seen too. A male Hen Harrier was seen by all at the next stop and the Adder was sheltering from the stiff breeze.

Plenty of waders still to be seen on our travels with the usual Turnstone, Dunlin and Ringed Plover. A couple of Whimbrel were seen at our last stop of the day...

...three Golden Plover were difficult to pick out...

...but the two Mountain Hares were a bit easier.

Two Twite were flighty but we got decent views with a bit of patience...

...and I'm not sure what you will make of this bird! Any ideas?
