Retired, but still enjoying birds & all wildlife. Also, live music floats my boat.

I had two visits to Inverkeithing today. I walked to Port Laing twice but didn't manage to see the 2 reported WBD, the highlight was a fine Peregrine, new for my 25k list = 121

It was a big fish, so glad these birds are feeding well.

The birds still alive seem to be feeding well, so hopefully they will make after this recent spell of very poor weather.
