Christine's walking & birds blog

I woke to find Greger listening with headphones to the dismal election news on his iPad. He's worked all day putting together the Ikea sofa-bed. I went early to Keanchulish, where redpolls were flying around calling.


I got a record shot of the grasshopper warbler when it flew onto a bramble stem.


Shame it's just the back of the bird, but nevertheless I went home happy to my breakfast after my first self-found and first Scottish grasshopper warbler; especially as, just before I drove away, an osprey flew over heading east.
