A sunny Spring Equinox in Orkney, and we went for a stroll along the track by the Dam O’ Hoxa, South Ronaldsay
Where we saw Oystercatchers
keeping company with a female Red-breasted Merganser
There was a male Merganser out on the water – so far out, that the pic. is a bit vague
A couple of Shelduck
And a Great-Northern Diver
…..who caught a crab………
We also saw a Reed Bunting in a willow by the track, but it was too quick for us to get a pic!
Then to the Barrier View café for lunch where we sat in a sunny window and enjoyed the view….
