Little Big Year hits 750!!

Now that we are here in Scotland, I have managed to break the 750 barrier for the year, and now stands at 753 for the year. The 750th bird was the semi-rare Slavonian Grebe at Loch Kinellan. I travelled by myself, leaving Jeanne and |Gordon to explore Alness, the birth place of Gordons father. Just in case you were wondering, #751 was the Sedge Warbler, #752 is the Red Kite, and #753 was the beautiful Reed Bunting.

All of next week we will be going past Loch Ness, and taking a quick look for "Nessy", the off to Loch Lomond for a "Highland Games" and then north thru the north highlands to travel the acclaimed and appropriately named, North Coast 500. We are going to try to fit in a quick trip over to the isle of Skye, if the timing and the weather all work out. Stay tuned, and lets see how many more I can find!!

Here is that Slovian Grebe!
