Where's the birdie?

Went to highland Perthshire looking for Black Grouse and Capercaillie and saw hee-haw as they would say up here.

That's bird watching for you, sometimes things conspire against you. Capercaillie is a species I've not seen but would really like too.
Managed to add another species, Manx shearwater, to my life list on recent Scotland trip.

Hope you had a passport to come into God’s country, where were you? Great shot of a normal day this time of the year.

Very autumnal and a lovely picture - even if the feathered meanies weren't cooperating...

Lovely shot Burnie, pity you were unable to catch any avian species but can guarantee they were watching you.

Thanks all, it's a secret where I was, but Loch Tay is not too far away, now I can take folk there, but can't post it's location due to the wrong people finding out, I have seen Capers and Blackies there in the past, but my local contact reckons the Capers may have moved, a nearby estate has been bought out and is no longer managed for the Grouse, so they may have found a quiet spot to hide in the mist.

Great shot, think lack of birds is general at this time of year. I know at my place although I can’t get out as much at the moment numbers are down —— they will be back

Looks a very good natural photo, well done.

Thanks Colin, Caledonian Pine forest, straight off the camera.
