Final Birding

The last birding photograph is of Barnacle Geese flying over one of the hides at Caerlaverock. Unfortunately I can't pay you the noise they made!

Hide?

I had thought that an observation hide was meant to
1. hide you from the birds you were observing and
2. hide, at least to some degree, itself from the birds as well.

You'll see from this photograph that it isn't the case here. There are some neatly camouflaged low hides at Caerlaverock, but also a couple of towers like this one.

Birds - continued

A larger selection of birds this time. You'll see Canada Geese, Greylag Geese, Mallards (male and female), Wigeons and, of course, Feral Pigeons - including 2 in flight!.

More Birds

This time they are wigeons.

The three swans with the yellow, black-tipped beaks are Whooper Swans and the single swan with the orange beak is a Mute Swan. The goose is a Canada Goose.
