The Silvery Tay
Took the two youngest kids for a play at the park down by the river today. No 'camera' so I missed an annoyingly close Sea Eagle but I did get these ones on my phone.
The reed beds at this part of the river are some of the largest in Europe and the largest in Britain making up 20% of the total. They are a migration hotspot for many species including Osprey, Marsh Harriers Swallows & Sand Martins. Home to 10,000 species of insect, the reed banks attract around 25,000 birds in autumn.

Thanks for looking folks.
I normally forget about the phone on the camera. I just wish it had a 400mm lens LOL
