Back in 2009 I spent a week in spring up in Scotland near the seaside town of Largs. Over the week several birds crossed my path. The
Gannet (Morus bassanus) above made several dives whilst we watched.
A
Curlew (Numenius arquata).
An
Oystercatcher (Haematopus ostralegus).
On the mainland near Largs, a couple of
Shelduck (Tadorna tadorna) strolled along.
On the ferry to Arran a
Skylark (Alauda arvensis) hitched a ride.
A first for me, a
Black Guillemot (Cepphus grylle) from the Arran ferry.
Another first for me,
Red-breasted Mergansers (Mergus serrator) on the Island of Arran.
On the ferry back from Arran, a
Herring Gull (Larus argentatus) followed the boat looking for food. The red spot on its beak confirms its identity.
