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.

 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 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.

This is a merganser I´m not spoiled to see. I have only seen it twice.  So I  was happy. Only sad it was an overcast day and raining and I could not move closer either.

Despite the fact this happened close to water this bird obviously preferred to take a sand bath. It was so much fun to watch.  From my trip to Scotland last June. :)

This one was hunting for flies outside a destillery. I wonder.......? It seems very determined.
