It is indeed Calum. All the credit goes to Agnes, though, as she picked it up, flying in. The newts are all safe at the moment!

It's not the best shot, but I was really pleased that this Great Egret decided to roost in trees at the back of my garden (Shotts, Scotland)! This picture was taken in the dark just after the bird arrived. #BirdsSeenIn2025 #clydebirding #birdingscotland @birdguides.bsky.social
