Today we went to Vane Farm again, there was much ado about a possible sighting of a sea eagle, maybe in the trees, maybe on the loch… many twitchers had arrived and whether or not they saw what they expected, who knows? We saw teal, curlew, oyster catcher, black headed gull, whooper swan, goldfinch and of course crows. Love crows, they are possibly the most intelligent birds we ever see on a day to day basis. They can use tools, you know… But to arrive at the hides we had to navigate a flooded field as the usual pathway was off limits.
