Not been down the park much as I always favour the Haugh...just a lot less folk but had to go down yesterday as Terns had been spotted, black tern and arctic tern...they were soooooofar out on the Loch it really was impossible to get decent shots , couldt even tell wit tern was wit
despite going down twice it really didn't get any better. I couldn't even find the Arctic gull on my return visit and was always a flaming rower in the way of shots grrr
nice to get some photo's, you will just have to go back Linda
I see a cormorant snuck into the frame

Hi Linda!
These waggies are totally cute! It's funny how some have a black bib in front like what the big maggpies have.
I wish there were waggies here; there are indeed suppose to also be a European waggie variant which I've never seen yet.

I don't know if there is a collective noun for Wagtails. If there isn't I think you've nailed it Linda. A "Bounce" of Wagtails
