Rhaslas 22/07/2025, slowly slipping away and no one gives a fuck!

 

Bit of a surprise this morning, a passing osprey, didn't hang about. Also  usual passage waders for this time of year, all singles; little ringed plover, common sandpiper, green sandpiper and redshank.

Cormorant sinensis

Getting my 10,000 steps a day in and doing a bit of birding as I go, especially around Rhaslas, note camera work hasn't improved.

 

 

Looks like a good candidate for sinensis, gular pouch is way past the 90 and the bird, at least to me on the day, looked smaller/more delicate than carbo, 10/03/2025.
