Morning Cycle

The loch was beautiful this morning as I squeezed in a 12km cycle before taking the car to the car valet and settled down for a couple of hours studying in the library.
Swans, mergansers, goosanders, goldfinches, reed buntings, sedge warblers, herons, bullfinches...the list went on and on and most of them seemed intent in making as much racket as possible.

Not easy taking photos from the bike through the reeds but this wee chap was very handsome so he gets the Blip!
