Birding for a while before hotel breakfast. The Gannets are also hungry but the Eiders still sleep. It was interesting to see the Gannet actually formed the V on this morning trip to the feeding ground. Flying close to the water.
From my trip to Scotland 2 year ago.

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.
