Grey Heron standing by a small pool in a burn Goldfinch, back to the camera, looking left Grey Heron in flight small pearl bordered fritillary on fox & cubs

Walked up to Greenside reservoir this afternoon. Still bright, but light grey coverage and a bit of a cool breeze, felt like rain on its way. First fritillary I’ve photographed this year. there were a few feeding on Fox & Cubs, colour match meant I nearly missed them.

@johnjohnston those are amazing! I had a bird encounter this morning walking to work. Right on the road I walk on was an eagle and a crow devouring a couple donuts that had been dropped.

@johnjohnston Beautiful distelfink! I only ever see the Americanisch ones here, and I don’t even know what you call the European kind in English. Goldfinch? Thistlefinch?
