dumfries and galloway, holiday day 10, part 1

a blue thailed damselfly
meet spassy-foot chaffinch-he has some kind of diesease
a juvenile chaffinch

a juvenilke goldfinch

this garden center was allegedly much better then glenwhan (se the last 3 posts) yet in my opinion this place was rubbish-the sightings:

2 goldfinch

1 buzzard

swan family

chaffinch, blue tits, great tits, dunnock, thrush

brown trout, bees, damselflies.

the we went to ardwell agian, but the sea was too ruff to go snoprkling so we sat and ate our lunch. as we did a small black sea duck appeared. i grabbed the camera, took some shots and ......... from the shots couldnt tell anything. got out the bins and again couldnt tell anything but-white patches on the wings, yellowish bill ohhhhhh-was i thinking velvet scotor, got out the scope look to find it, found it and.............................it was an eider :(

also there were; gannets, black headed gulls, herring gulls, greater black backed gulls
