This is the reason why I went to Scotland. To see this bird in action. :) And it was worth it!

Going through the files from Scotland and Arran I found this Hooded Crow  and realised I don´t have much images of crows. So why not post one? This one was at the same place as the young Oystercatchers. It looks pretty angry. Maybe it wanted some dinner.

 I was happy to see the White-throated Dipper. I did not really expect it as it has been rather warm this winter so I figured they would stay further north.

 This was in Arran, Scotland when we spotted a few of the Rooks. A very strange crow member. It loos angry with the large bill it has. In Sweden it is only found in Skåne in the south part of Sweden.

There was finally some action at the forest feeder. Not many species but still. The little Coal Tit was really fluffed up and seemed cold and the Yellowhammer seem to have got "cold feet". Yet, it was not cold, about zero so a bit thawing on the snow.  :)

There was at least two, maybe three, families of Oystercatcher with young of different age. One seemed newly hatched and another almost ad. This was on my morning walk before we left for the day.
