Birds

A pair of house sparrows enjoy a bath in the Golspie Burn as a blackbird politely waits his turn while....

....a carrion crow still finds something to eat in the barley field beyond the burn. There is still little sign of spring migrants - an occasional pied wagtail, one grey wagtail - and....

....the geese continue to pass overhead - these ones must be some of the hundreds of greylag and pink-footed which have wintered here as they're busy flying south, so are on their daily commute between overnight roosts and daytime feeding fields. The only real signs of spring are in....

....some of the resident cock birds which are, like this yellowhammer, suddenly and gloriously in full and spectacular mating colours.
